Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB Class: BeamSystem

BeamSystem.Create(Document, IList<Curve>, SketchPlane, XYZ, Boolean)

Method

Description:
Creates a new BeamSystem with specified profile curves.

Syntax

public static BeamSystem Create(
	Document document,
	IList<Curve> profile,
	SketchPlane sketchPlane,
	XYZ direction,
	bool is3d
)

Public Shared Function Create ( 
	document As Document,
	profile As IList(Of Curve),
	sketchPlane As SketchPlane,
	direction As XYZ,
	is3d As Boolean
) As BeamSystem

        sketchPlane : SketchPlane * 
        direction : XYZ *

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
document	Document	The document in which the new BeamSystem is created.
profile	IList	The profile of the BeamSystem.
sketchPlane	SketchPlane	The work-plane for the BeamSystem.
direction	XYZ	The direction is the direction of the BeamSystem.
is3d	Boolean	Whether the BeamSystem is 3D. If the BeamSystem is 3D, the sketchPlane must be a level, otherwise an exception will be thrown.

Return Value

Type	Description
BeamSystem	If successful, a new BeamSystem object will be returned.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	SketchPlane is not valid for BeamSystem creation. -or- The input profile contains at least one helical curve and is not supported for this operation. -or- The profile curves must be in the sketch plane.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
InvalidOperationException	The BeamSystem is 3D, but the SketchPlane is not a level.
ModificationForbiddenException	The document is in failure mode: an operation has failed, and Revit requires the user to either cancel the operation or fix the problem (usually by deleting certain elements). -or- The document is being loaded, or is in the midst of another sensitive process.
ModificationOutsideTransactionException	The document has no open transaction.
