Document.NewAreaBoundaryConditions(Element, TranslationRotationValue, Double, TranslationRotationValue, Double, TranslationRotationValue, Double)

Method

Description:
Creates a new Area BoundaryConditions element on a host element.

Remarks:
This method will only function with the Autodesk Revit Structure application.

Examples

bool CreateAreaConditionWithElement(AnalyticalPanel wall, Autodesk.Revit.Creation.Document docCreation)
{
   // Create Area Boundary Conditions using a given Wall and defaulting to fixed in all directions
   BoundaryConditions condition = docCreation.NewAreaBoundaryConditions(wall, TranslationRotationValue.Fixed, 0,
                                                                              TranslationRotationValue.Fixed, 0,

   return (null != condition);
}

Private Function CreateAreaConditionWithElement(wall As Wall, docCreation As Autodesk.Revit.Creation.Document) As Boolean
    ' Create Area Boundary Conditions using a given Wall and defaulting to fixed in all directions
    Dim condition As BoundaryConditions = docCreation.NewAreaBoundaryConditions(wall, TranslationRotationValue.Fixed, 0, TranslationRotationValue.Fixed, 0, TranslationRotationValue.Fixed, _
        0)
    Return (condition IsNot Nothing)
End Function

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
hostElement	Element	A Wall, Slab or Slab Foundation to host the boundary conditions.
X_Translation	TranslationRotationValue	A value indicating the X axis translation option.
X_TranslationSpringModulus	Double	Translation Spring Modulus for X axis. Ignored if X_Translation is not "Spring".
Y_Translation	TranslationRotationValue	A value indicating the Y axis translation option.
Y_TranslationSpringModulus	Double	Translation Spring Modulus for Y axis. Ignored if Y_Translation is not "Spring".
Z_Translation	TranslationRotationValue	A value indicating the Z axis translation option.
Z_TranslationSpringModulus	Double	Translation Spring Modulus for Z axis. Ignored if Z_Translation is not "Spring".

Return Value

Type	Description
BoundaryConditions	If successful, NewAreaBoundaryConditions returns an object for the newly created BoundaryConditions with the BoundaryType = 2 - "Area". is returned if the operation fails.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	Thrown if the host element does not exist in the given document.
