Method

Description:
Rotates an element about the given axis and angle.

Syntax

public static void RotateElement(
	Document document,
	ElementId elementToRotate,
	Line axis,
	double angle
)

Public Shared Sub RotateElement ( 
	document As Document,
	elementToRotate As ElementId,
	axis As Line,
	angle As Double
)

public:
static void RotateElement(
	Document^ document, 
	ElementId^ elementToRotate, 
	Line^ axis, 
	double angle
)

static member RotateElement : 
        document : Document * 
        elementToRotate : ElementId * 
        axis : Line * 
        angle : float -> unit

Examples

public void RotateColumn(Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document document, Autodesk.Revit.DB.Element element)
{
    XYZ point1 = new XYZ(10, 20, 0);
    XYZ point2 = new XYZ(10, 20, 30);
    Line axis = Line.CreateBound(point1, point2);
    ElementTransformUtils.RotateElement(document, element.Id, axis, Math.PI / 3.0);
}

Public Sub RotateColumn(document As Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document, element As Autodesk.Revit.DB.Element)
    Dim point1 As New XYZ(10, 20, 0)
    Dim point2 As New XYZ(10, 20, 30)
    Dim axis As Line = Line.CreateBound(point1, point2)
    ElementTransformUtils.RotateElement(document, element.Id, axis, Math.PI / 3.0)
End Sub
