Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure Class: RebarShapeDefinition

RebarShapeDefinition.AddParameter

Method

Description:
Add a parameter to the shape definition.

Remarks:
A shape parameter must be a shared parameter and have value type double. A parameter must be added to the definition before it can be used to drive the shape in a RebarShapeConstraint object. A parameter that does not drive a constraint is legal and will simply become an editable parameter on any Rebar that is an instance of this RebarShape.

Syntax

public void AddParameter(
	ElementId paramId,
	double defaultValue
)

Public Sub AddParameter ( 
	paramId As ElementId,
	defaultValue As Double
)

public:
void AddParameter(
	ElementId^ paramId, 
	double defaultValue
)

member AddParameter : 
        paramId : ElementId * 
        defaultValue : float -> unit

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
paramId	ElementId	The parameter. To obtain the id of a shared parameter, call RebarShapeParameters.GetElementIdForExternalDefinition.
defaultValue	Double	A default value for this parameter in shapes. The default values should be chosen carefully, because they are required to be consistent as a set of constraints.

Return Value

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	paramId is not the id of a shared parameter in the current document, or its unit type is not UT_Reinforcement_Length or UT_Angle. -or- The name of a shared parameter identified by paramId was already used by another shared parameter of the element.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
