)

Parameters

doc Document

The document where the created electrical load areas are.

levelId ElementId

The base level on which the created electrical load areas exist.

phaseId ElementId

The associated phase in which the created electrical load areas exist.

Return Value

ISet. ElementId.
The created electrical load areas.

Exceptions

Exception

Condition

ArgumentException

doc is not a project document. -or- The ElementId levelId is not a Level. -or- The id does not represent a valid phase.

ArgumentNullException

A non-optional argument was null

InvalidOperationException

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).

ModificationForbiddenException

Remarks

Use the

HasCircuitsWithoutElectricalLoadAreas

to check whether there are empty plan circuits in which there are no electrical load areas, if there are empty plan circuits, this API will create electrical load areas on each of them, otherwise, it will create nothing. In most cases, the electrical load areas will be created, updated and deleted automatically, but in some cases, there are some empty plan circuits and need to create electrical load areas on each of them.
