Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
document	Document	The document to which the reference section will be added.
parentViewId	ElementId	The view in which the new reference section marker will appear. Reference sections can be created in FloorPlan, CeilingPlan, StructuralPlan, Section, Elevation, Drafting, and Detail views.
viewIdToReference	ElementId	Detail, Drafting and Section views can be referenced. The ViewFamilyType of the referenced view will be used by the new reference section.
headPoint	XYZ	Determines the location of the section marker's head in the parent view.
tailPoint	XYZ	Determines the location of the section marker's tail in the parent view.

Return Value

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The ElementId viewIdToReference does not correspond to a View. -or- The ElementId parentViewId does not correspond to a View. -or- The parent view and the referenced view must be different views. -or- Can't create a new reference sections in parentViewId. Parent views must be FloorPlan, CeilingPlan, StructuralPlan, Section, Elevation, Drafting, or Detail views. -or- The viewIdToReference cannot be referenced by reference sections. Only Detail, Drafting and Section views can be referenced. -or- headPoint and tailPoint do not differ when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the view direction. -or- Reference section view creation is not allowed in this family.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
ModificationForbiddenException	The document is in failure mode: an operation has failed, and Revit requires the user to either cancel the operation or fix the problem (usually by deleting certain elements). -or- The document is being loaded, or is in the midst of another sensitive process.
