Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
aDoc	Document	The document.
hostElement	Element	The element that will host the FabricArea. The host can be a Structural Floor, Structural Wall, Structural Slab, or a Part created from a structural layer belonging to one of those element types.
curveLoops	IList	An array of curves that will define the outline of the FabricArea. This includes curves defining openings in the interior of the area.
majorDirection	XYZ	A vector to define the major direction of the FabricArea.
majorDirectionOrigin	XYZ	An origin point of the major direction line
fabricAreaTypeId	ElementId	The id of the FabricAreaType.
fabricSheetTypeId	ElementId	The id of the FabricSheetType.

Return Value

Type	Description
FabricArea	The newly created FabricArea.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	Not all curveLoops in curveLoops are closed and continuous. -or- Not all curveLoops in curveLoops are in the same plane. -or- curveLoops should only contain lines or arcs. -or- The element hostElement was not found in the given document. -or- the host Element is not a valid host for Area Reinforcement, Path Reinforcement, Fabric Area or Fabric Sheet. -or- fabricAreaTypeId should refer to an FabricAreaType element. -or- fabricSheetTypeId should refer to an FabricSheetType element.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	majorDirection has zero length.
