DirectShapeType.AppendShape(ShapeBuilder)
Method
Description:
Append shape built by the supplied ShapeBuilderObject to shape representation stored in this DirectShapeType. The data stored in the supplied ShapeBuilder object will be cleared.
Append shape built by the supplied ShapeBuilderObject to shape representation stored in this DirectShapeType. The data stored in the supplied ShapeBuilder object will be cleared.
Remarks:
The existing shape will not be cleared by this function, and intersecting or overlapped geometry will not be joined with the appended geometry. It is up to the caller to ensure that the combination of geometry will have teh correct appearance in Revit. This function will bypass extra geometry validation because the built geometry has already been validated by the ShapeBuilder. It is therefore slightly more efficient than the AppendShape() routine that accepts GeometryObjects directly as input.
