AreaReinforcement

Class
Description:
An object that represents an Area Reinforcement within the Autodesk Revit project.
Remarks:
This object derived from the Element base object and such supports all the methods of that object such as the ability to retrieve the parameters of that object. The Area Reinforcement element is available only in the Autodesk Revit Structure product.
