RebarShapeDrivenAccessor

Class
Description:
A class that is used to access the properties and capabilities of shape-driven Rebar.
Remarks:
Obtain an instance of this class from GetShapeDrivenAccessor(). The accessor includes a reference to the Rebar element. If the referenced Rebar element is deleted, using the methods form this class will throw exception.

Syntax
RebarShapeDrivenAccessor Class Members:
Name Description Inherited From
ArrayLength Identifies the distribution path length of rebar set.
BarsOnNormalSide Identifies if the bars of the rebar set are on the same side of the rebar plane indicated by the normal.
BaseFinishingTurns For a spiral, the number of finishing turns at the lower end of the spiral.
Height For a spiral, the overall height.
IsValidObject Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
MultiplanarDepth For a multiplanar rebar, the depth of the instance.
Normal A unit-length vector normal to the plane of the rebar
Pitch For a spiral, the pitch, or vertical distance traveled in one rotation.
TopFinishingTurns For a spiral, the number of finishing turns at the upper end of the spiral.
UseRebarConstraintsToProduceVaryingBars Identifies if the rebar constraints should be used to compute each bar in set (which can produce varying length bars).
Name Description Inherited From
ComputeDrivingCurves Compute the driving curves.
Dispose Releases all resources used by the RebarShapeDrivenAccessor
Equals Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object ) Object
FlipRebarSet Flips the rebar set by changing the RebarPlane with the OutOfPlaneExtent and vice versa.
GetBarPositionTransform Return a transform representing the relative position of any individual bar in the set.
GetDistributionPath The distribution path of a rebar set.
GetHashCode Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object ) Object
GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object ) Object
ScaleToBox Move and resize the bar to fit within a specified box. The arguments are interpreted as an arbitrary rectangle in 3D with vertices: origin, origin+xVec, origin+xVec+yVec, origin+yVec. The algorithm then proceeds as follows. First the bar is given the default values of the shape parameters from the shape definition. Then, if it is possible to do so without violating the shape definition, the parameter values are scaled so that the width and height of the shape (including bar thickness) match the lengths of xVec and yVec. If there is no way to do this within the shape definition due to overconstraining, a compromise is attempted, such as scaling the whole shape until either the width or the height is correct. Finally the shape is rotated to match the coordinate system of the box. The algorithm is the same one used in one-click placement.
ScaleToBoxFor3D Move and resize a spiral or multiplanar instance to fit within a specified box. The arguments are interpreted as an arbitrary rectangle in 3D with vertices: origin, origin+xVec, origin+xVec+yVec, origin+yVec. One end of the rebar shape is inscribed in this rectangle following the procedure described for the ScaleToBox method. The other end is placed in the parallel plane at distance (center-to-center) given by the height argument, in the direction of (xVec x yVec). Note that spiral shapes interpret the input arguments using a different convention than multiplanar shapes. For spiral shapes, the spiral start will be placed in the rectangle defined by origin, xVec, yVec, and the end of the spiral will be placed in the parallel plane. For multiplanar shapes, the rebar is placed with its primary shape definition located in the parallel plane defined by the height argument, and its connector segments extending in the direction opposite (xVec x yVec). This method replaces ScaleToBoxForSpiral() from prior releases.
SetLayoutAsFixedNumber Sets the Layout Rule property of rebar set to FixedNumber.
SetLayoutAsMaximumSpacing Sets the Layout Rule property of rebar set to MaximumSpacing
SetLayoutAsMinimumClearSpacing Sets the Layout Rule property of rebar set to MinimumClearSpacing
SetLayoutAsNumberWithSpacing Sets the Layout Rule property of rebar set to NumberWithSpacing
SetLayoutAsSingle Sets the Layout Rule property of rebar set to Single.
SetRebarShapeId Changes the RebarShape element that defines the shape of the rebar. Changing the value of this member causes the Rebar instance to choose values for its shape parameters to preserve its previous shape as closely as possible
ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object ) Object
