RebarSpliceUtils.GetLapDirectionForSpliceGeometryAndPosition

Public Class

This function calculates the lap direction given a RebarSpliceGeometry and a RebarSplicePosition.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure

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

Syntax

public static XYZ GetLapDirectionForSpliceGeometryAndPosition(
  Rebar rebar,
  RebarSpliceGeometry spliceGeometry,
  RebarSplicePosition splicePosition
)

Parameters

rebar Rebar

The input rebar.

spliceGeometry RebarSpliceGeometry

The splice geometry.

splicePosition RebarSplicePosition

The splice position.

Return Value

XYZ
The lap direction.

Exceptions

Exception

Condition

ArgumentException

RebarSplicePosition should not be Middle. -or- The rebar cannot be spliced with the provided RebarSpliceGeometry.

ArgumentNullException

A non-optional argument was null

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

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

Remarks

This function determines first the point where the RebarSpliceGeometry will cut the rebar. Based on the RebarSplicePosition value it will determine the direction where the lap will go, RebarSplicePosition.End1 meaning towards the start of the splice chain and RebarSplicePosition.End2 towards the end. For more information about the splice chain concept please check Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure.RebarSpliceUtils.GetSpliceChain(Rebar rebar). This function will throw exception if it’s called with RebarSplicePosition.Middle.
