Examples

Document document = commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument.Document;
UIDocument activeDoc = commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument;

//select object for adding a point load
Reference eRef = activeDoc.Selection.PickObject(ObjectType.Element, "Please select the analytical element");
ElementId selectedElementId = null;
if (eRef != null && eRef.ElementId != ElementId.InvalidElementId)
   selectedElementId = eRef.ElementId;

XYZ location = activeDoc.Selection.PickPoint("Point Load location");

using (Transaction transaction = new Transaction(document, "Create custom PointLoad"))
{
   transaction.Start();
   PointLoad pointLoad = null;

   if (PointLoad.IsPointInsideHostBoundaries(document, selectedElementId, location))
      pointLoad = PointLoad.Create(document, selectedElementId, location, new XYZ(1, 0, 0), new XYZ(1, 0, 0), null);

   transaction.Commit();
}

Dim document As Document = commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument.Document
Dim activeDoc As UIDocument = commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument

'select object for adding a point load
Dim eRef As Reference = activeDoc.Selection.PickObject(ObjectType.Element, "Please select the analytical element")
Dim selectedElementId As ElementId = Nothing
If eRef IsNot Nothing AndAlso eRef.ElementId IsNot ElementId.InvalidElementId Then selectedElementId = eRef.ElementId

Dim location As XYZ = activeDoc.Selection.PickPoint("Point Load location")

Using transaction As Transaction = New Transaction(document, "Create custom PointLoad")
    transaction.Start()
    Dim pointLoad As PointLoad = Nothing

    If PointLoad.IsPointInsideHostBoundaries(document, selectedElementId, location) Then pointLoad = PointLoad.Create(document, selectedElementId, location, New XYZ(1, 0, 0), New XYZ(1, 0, 0), Nothing)

    transaction.Commit()

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
document	Document	Document to which new point load will be added.
hostElemId	ElementId	The AnalyticalElement host element for the point Load.
point	XYZ	The position of point load, measured in decimal feet.
forceVector	XYZ	The applied 3d force vector.
momentVector	XYZ	The applied 3d moment vector.
symbol	PointLoadType	The symbol of the PointLoad. Set <span class="keyword"><span data-languagespecifictext="cpp=nullptr\|vb=Nothing\|nu=null" id="LSTFBBA9B94_1"></span></span> to use default type.

Return Value

Type	Description
PointLoad	If successful, returns the newly created PointLoad, otherwise.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	hostElemId is not permitted for this type of load. -or- Thrown when work plane is not valid.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentsInconsistentException	Thrown when force and moment vectors are equal zero.
InvalidOperationException	Thrown if type could not be set for newly created point load.
