Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB Class: BRepBuilder

BRepBuilder.AddFace

Method

Description:
Creates an empty face in the geometry being built. Other BRepBuilder methods are used to add loops to the face.

Syntax

public BRepBuilderGeometryId AddFace(
	BRepBuilderSurfaceGeometry surfaceGeom,
	bool bFaceIsReversed
)

Public Function AddFace ( 
	surfaceGeom As BRepBuilderSurfaceGeometry,
	bFaceIsReversed As Boolean
) As BRepBuilderGeometryId

public:
BRepBuilderGeometryId^ AddFace(
	BRepBuilderSurfaceGeometry^ surfaceGeom, 
	bool bFaceIsReversed
)

member AddFace : 
        surfaceGeom : BRepBuilderSurfaceGeometry * 
        bFaceIsReversed : bool -> BRepBuilderGeometryId

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
surfaceGeom	BRepBuilderSurfaceGeometry	The face's support surface.
bFaceIsReversed	Boolean	True if the face's orientation is opposite to that of the surface, false if the orientations agree. The faces of each shell must be consistently oriented. For a solid (BRepType == Solid), the oriented face normals must point out of the solid; for a void (BRepType == Void), the face normals must point into the void. See the description of the bCoEdgeIsReversed input for AddCoEdge() for a discussion of the loop and co-edge orientation conventions to use with the BRepBuilder.

Return Value

Type	Description
BRepBuilderGeometryId	An id that can be used to identify the face while the BRepBuilder is actively building geometry (e.g., to add a loop to a face).

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
InvalidOperationException	This BRepBuilder object isn't accepting new data, either because it has already been used to build geometry, or because of an error. Consult the State property of the BRepBuilder object for more details.
