Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB Class: RuledSurface

RuledSurface.Create(Curve, XYZ)

Method

Description:
Creates a Surface object coincident with the ruled surface joining a bounded generating curve to a point.

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.

Syntax

public static Surface Create(
	Curve profileCurve,
	XYZ point
)

Public Shared Function Create ( 
	profileCurve As Curve,
	point As XYZ
) As Surface

public:
static Surface^ Create(
	Curve^ profileCurve, 
	XYZ^ point
)

static member Create : 
        profileCurve : Curve * 
        point : XYZ -> Surface

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
profileCurve	Curve	The profile curve; must be bounded and non-degenerate.
point	XYZ	The point. Expected to lie within the Revit design limits <a href="ac2171af-4250-8a30-faa7-4d7030d29a03.htm">IsWithinLengthLimits(XYZ)</a>.

Return Value

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

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The input profileCurve is not bound. -or- The profileCurve is degenerate (its length is too close to zero). -or- The input point lies outside of Revit design limits.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
