Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB Class: RuledSurface

RuledSurface.Create(Curve, Curve)

Method

Description:
Creates a Surface object coincident with the ruled surface joining two bounded generating curves.

Remarks:
The returned surface may not be of type RuledSurf - this function will create a surface of the simplest possible type (Plane, CylindricalSurface, etc.) that can be used to represent the given ruled surface. Given that the surface may be simplified, this function does not guarantee any particular parameterization of the surface. The curves should be such that a ruled surface whose rulings connect points on the two curves with the same normalized coordinates has no self-intersections or interior singularities.

Syntax

public static Surface Create(
	Curve profileCurve1,
	Curve profileCurve2
)

Public Shared Function Create ( 
	profileCurve1 As Curve,
	profileCurve2 As Curve
) As Surface

public:
static Surface^ Create(
	Curve^ profileCurve1, 
	Curve^ profileCurve2
)

static member Create : 
        profileCurve1 : Curve * 
        profileCurve2 : Curve -> Surface

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
profileCurve1	Curve	The first profile curve; must be bounded and non-degenerate.
profileCurve2	Curve	The second profile curve; must be bounded and non-degenerate.

Return Value

Type	Description
Surface	The created surface. Note that this surface may not be of type RuledSurf.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The input profileCurve1 is not bound. -or- The profileCurve1 is degenerate (its length is too close to zero). -or- The input profileCurve2 is not bound. -or- The profileCurve2 is degenerate (its length is too close to zero).
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
