BooleanOperationsUtils.ExecuteBooleanOperationModifyingOriginalSolid

Public Class

Perform a boolean geometric operation between two solids, and modify the original solid to represent the result.

Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)

Syntax

public static void ExecuteBooleanOperationModifyingOriginalSolid(
  Solid solid0,
  Solid solid1,
  BooleanOperationsType booleanType
)

Parameters

solid0 Solid

The original solid object. This object cannot be obtained directly from a Revit element. This means that

IsElementGeometry

cannot be true.

solid1 Solid

The second solid object. A copy will be taken of the input object, so any solid whether obtained from a Revit element or not would be accepted.

booleanType BooleanOperationsType

boolean operation type.

Exceptions

Exception

Condition

ArgumentException

Thrown when the original solid object is the geometry of the Revit model.

ArgumentNullException

A non-optional argument was NULL

InvalidOperationException

Failed to perform the Boolean operation for the two solids. This may be due to geometric inaccuracies in the solids, such as slightly misaligned faces or edges. If so, eliminating the inaccuracies by making sure the solids are accurately aligned may solve the problem. This also may be due to one or both solids having complexities such as more than two faces geometrically meeting along a single edge, or two coincident edges, etc. Eliminating such conditions, or performing a sequence of Boolean operations in an order that avoids such conditions, may solve the problem.”

Remarks

This operation modifies the original input Geometry objects.
