RuledSurface

Class

Description:
A ruled surface is created by sweeping a line between two profile curves or between a curve and a point (a point and a curve). Input curve(s) must be bounded or have natural bounds.

Remarks:
Both curves are evaluated in normalized parameters [0, 1] The parametric equations of a ruled surface are:

Curve C1 and curve C2 : S(u, v) = C1(u) + v * (C2(u) - C1(u));
Point P1 and curve C2 : S(u, v) = P1 + v * (C2(u) - P1);
Curve C1 and point P2 : S(u, v) = C1(u) + v * (P2 - C1(u));

The point/point case is not allowed as that would define a degenerate ruled surface.

RuledSurface Class Members:

Name	Description	Inherited From
IsValidObject	Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity. (Inherited from Surface )	Surface
OrientationMatchesParametricOrientation	Indicates whether this Surface's orientation is the same as or opposite to its parametric orientation. (Inherited from Surface )	Surface

Name	Description	Inherited From
Create(Curve, Curve)	Creates a Surface object coincident with the ruled surface joining two bounded generating curves.
Create(Curve, XYZ)	Creates a Surface object coincident with the ruled surface joining a bounded generating curve to a point.
Dispose	(Inherited from Surface )	Surface
Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object )	Object
GetBoundingBoxUV	Gets the UV bounding box of the surface. (Inherited from Surface )	Surface
GetFirstProfileCurve	Returns a copy of the first profile curve if it is set.
GetFirstProfilePoint	If a point was used to define the first profile, returns a copy of that point.
GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object )	Object
GetSecondProfileCurve	Returns a copy of the second profile curve if it is set.
GetSecondProfilePoint	If a point was used to define the second profile, returns a copy of that point.
GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object )	Object
HasFirstProfilePoint	Checks if a point was used to define the first profile.

Project	Project a 3D point orthogonally onto a surface (to find the nearest point). Throws InvalidOperationException if the projection fails. (Inherited from Surface )	Surface
ProjectWithGuessPoint	Project a 3D point orthogonally onto a surface (to find the nearest point). This method is meant to be used when a good approximate solution for the projection is available. Throws InvalidOperationException if the projection fails. (Inherited from Surface )	Surface
ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object )	Object
