Rebar.CreateFreeForm(Document, RebarBarType, Element, IList.CurveLoop., RebarFreeFormValidationResult.)

Public Class

Creates a free form rebar that will be unconstrained. Constraints can’t be added later to this rebar.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure

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

Syntax

public static Rebar CreateFreeForm(
  Document doc,
  RebarBarType barType,
  Element host,
  IList<CurveLoop> curves,
  out RebarFreeFormValidationResult error
)

Parameters

doc Document

A document.

barType RebarBarType

A RebarBarType element that defines bar diameter, bend radius and material of the rebar.

host Element

The element to which the rebar belongs. The element must support rebar hosting.

curvesIList. CurveLoop.

Each curve loop represents a bar in the set.

error RebarFreeFormValidationResult.

Will be Success(0) if everything is ok, otherwise the failure reason.

Return Value

Rebar
The newly created free form Rebar Instance.

Exceptions

Exception

Condition

ArgumentException

host is not a valid rebar host.

ArgumentNullException

A non-optional argument was null

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

A value passed for an enumeration argument is not a member of that enumeration

Remarks

The created rebar will have curves.Count bars. The layout will be Single if curves.Count is 1, otherwise will be Fixed Number and will not be changeable. Setting a new list of curves will only change the number of bars in set.

This function can fail due to following reasons:

  • The array of CurveLoops is empty.
  • At least one CurveLoop is empty.
  • At least one CurveLoop contains an unbounded curve.
  • A rebar constructed from curves can’t be bent according to the bending radius.
