FlexDuct.Create(Document, ElementId, ElementId, ElementId, XYZ, XYZ, IList<XYZ>)

Method

Description:
Creates a new flexible duct into the document, using a point array and flexible duct type.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
document	Document	The document.
systemTypeId	ElementId	The id of the HVAC system type.
ductTypeId	ElementId	The id of the flexible duct.
levelId	ElementId	The level id for the flexible duct.
startTangent	XYZ	The tangent vector at the start of the curve. The invalid or zero vector is ignored.
endTangent	XYZ	The tangent vector at the end of the curve. The invalid or zero vector is ignored.
points	IList	The point array indicating the path of the flexible duct, including the end point.

Return Value

Type	Description
FlexDuct	If creation was successful then a new flexible duct is returned, otherwise an exception with failure information will be thrown.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The systemTypeId is not valid HVAC system type. -or- The type ductTypeId is not valid flexible duct type. -or- The ElementId levelId is not a Level. -or- The valid number of points is less than two. In order to create a flex curve, at least two points are required. Note the duplicate points don't take into account.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
