Remarks

The location point objects adds additional functionality to its base location object class. This includes setting the elements location to a specific point and retrieving its rotation around its insertion point. Inplace families do not have a single insertion point and therefore do not have meaningful LocationPoint data.

Example

void LocationInformation(LocationPoint position)
{
    String prompt = "The selected column location information:";
    prompt += "\nPoint:  (" + position.Point.X + ", "
            + position.Point.Y + ", " + position.Point.Z + ")";
    prompt += "\nRotation: " + position.Rotation;

    TaskDialog.Show("Revit",prompt);
}

bool LocationRotate(Autodesk.Revit.ApplicationServices.Application application, Autodesk.Revit.DB.Element element)
{
    bool rotated = false;
    LocationPoint location = element.Location as LocationPoint;

    if (null != location)
    {
        XYZ aa = location.Point;
        XYZ cc = new XYZ(aa.X, aa.Y, aa.Z + 10);
        Line axis = Line.CreateBound(aa,cc);
        rotated = location.Rotate(axis, Math.PI / 2.0);
    }

    return rotated;
}
