Syntax

public ReferencePlane NewReferencePlane(
XYZ bubbleEnd,
XYZ freeEnd,
XYZ cutVec,
View pView
)

Parameters

bubbleEnd XYZ

The bubble end applied to reference plane.

freeEnd XYZ

The free end applied to reference plane.

cutVec XYZ

The cut vector apply to reference plane, should perpendicular to the vector (bubbleEnd-freeEnd).

Example

// Define data for reference plane creation
XYZ bubbleEnd = new XYZ(1, 0, 0); // bubble end applied to reference plane
XYZ freeEnd = new XYZ(-5, 0, 0); // free end applied to reference plane
// Cut vector should be perpendicular to bubbleEnd-freeEnd vector
XYZ cutVec = new XYZ(0, 0, 1); // cut vector applied to reference plane
// Create the reference plane, applying the active view
ReferencePlane refPlane = document.Create.NewReferencePlane(bubbleEnd, freeEnd, cutVec, document.ActiveView);
