Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB Class: Plane

Plane.CreateByOriginAndBasis

Method

Description:
Creates a Plane object defined by the two orthogonal unit vectors and passing through the origin point supplied as arguments.

Remarks:
The parametric equation of the plane is S(u, v) = origin + u*basisX + v*basisY. The plane's normal is defined as basisX.Cross(basisY).

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
origin	XYZ	Plane origin. Expected to lie within the Revit design limits <a href="ac2171af-4250-8a30-faa7-4d7030d29a03.htm">IsWithinLengthLimits(XYZ)</a>.
basisX	XYZ	First of the two unit vectors that define the plane. Must be orthogonal to the second one.
basisY	XYZ	Second of the two unit vectors that define the plane. Must be orthogonal to the first one.

Return Value

Plane
