Arc.Create(XYZ, XYZ, XYZ)

Method

Description:
Creates a new geometric arc object based on three points.

Syntax

public static Arc Create(
	XYZ end0,
	XYZ end1,
	XYZ pointOnArc
)

Public Shared Function Create ( 
	end0 As XYZ,
	end1 As XYZ,
	pointOnArc As XYZ
) As Arc

public:
static Arc^ Create(
	XYZ^ end0, 
	XYZ^ end1, 
	XYZ^ pointOnArc
)

static member Create : 
        end0 : XYZ * 
        end1 : XYZ * 
        pointOnArc : XYZ -> Arc

Examples

// Create a new arc using two ends and a point on the curve
XYZ end0 = new XYZ(1, 0, 0);    // start point of the arc
XYZ end1 = new XYZ(10, 10, 10); // end point of the arc
XYZ pointOnCurve = new XYZ(10, 0, 0);   // point along arc

Arc arc = Arc.Create(end0, end1, pointOnCurve);

' Create a new arc using two ends and a point on the curve
Dim end0 As New XYZ(1, 0, 0)
' start point of the arc
Dim end1 As New XYZ(10, 10, 10)
' end point of the arc
Dim pointOnCurve As New XYZ(10, 0, 0)
' point along arc
Dim arc__1 As Arc = Arc.Create(end0, end1, pointOnCurve)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
end0	XYZ	The start point of the arc.
end1	XYZ	The end point of the arc.
pointOnArc	XYZ	A point on the arc.

Return Value

Type	Description
Arc	The new arc.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was NULL
ArgumentsInconsistentException	The vectors end0 and end1 are coincident. -or- The vectors end0 and pointOnArc are coincident. -or- The vectors end1 and pointOnArc are coincident. -or- Cannot create an arc. -or- Curve length is too small for Revit's tolerance (as identified by Application.ShortCurveTolerance).
