Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB Class: RevolvedSurface

RevolvedSurface.Create(XYZ, XYZ, Curve)

Method

Description:
Creates a Surface object coincident with the surface of revolution defined by an axis and a profile curve.

Remarks:
The returned surface may not be of type RevolvedSurface - this function will create a surface of the simplest possible type (Plane, Cylinder, etc.) that can be used to represent the required surface of revolution. Given that the surface may be simplified, this function does not guarantee any particular parameterization of the surface.

Syntax

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
axisBasePoint	XYZ	The base point of the axis of revolution. Expected to lie within the Revit design limits <a href="ac2171af-4250-8a30-faa7-4d7030d29a03.htm">IsWithinLengthLimits(XYZ)</a>.
axisDirection	XYZ	The direction of the axis.
profileCurve	Curve	The profile curve, which should satisfy the following conditions: <ul><li> It is bounded and non-degenerate. </li><li> It is co-planar with the axis of revolution. </li><li> It lies on only one side of the axis. </li><li> Only the end points of the profile curve can touch the axis. </li></ul>

Return Value

Type	Description
Surface	The created surface. Note that this surface may not be of type RevolvedSurface.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The input point lies outside of Revit design limits. -or- The input profile curve is not valid to create a surface revolution around the given axis.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	axisDirection has zero length.
