BoundarySegment

Class

Description:
An object that represents a segment of an area boundary.

Remarks:
These objects define the exterior boundary of an area. The geometry of the segment can be retrieved along with the id of the element that is responsible for producing that boundary.

BoundarySegment Class Members:

Name	Description	Inherited From
ElementId	Retrieve the id of the element that produces this boundary segment. If the segment is created from an element in a link, this is the id of the RevitLinkInstance.
IsValidObject	Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
LinkElementId	Retrieve the element id of the element in a link instance that forms this boundary.

Name	Description	Inherited From
Dispose	Releases all resources used by the BoundarySegment
Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object )	Object
GetCurve	Get a copy of the curve that is formed along this boundary.
GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object )	Object
GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object )	Object
ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object )	Object
