Public Class

Dissolves a collection of form elements into their defining elements.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB

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

Syntax

public static ICollection<ElementId> DissolveForms(
  Document ADoc,
  ICollection<ElementId> elements,
  out ICollection<ElementId> ProfileOriginPointSet
)

Parameters

ADoc Document

The document

elementsICollection. ElementId.

A collection of element IDs of Forms and GeomCombinations that contain Forms that will be dissolved.

ProfileOriginPointSetICollection. ElementId..

A collection of the point element ids that represent the ‘origin’ of the profiles

Return Value

ICollection. ElementId.
A collection of curve element ids from the profiles and paths of the dissolved forms.

Exceptions

Exception

Condition

ArgumentException

The elements do not include Forms that can be dissolved.

ArgumentNullException

A non-optional argument was null

Remarks

Profile origin points define the workplane of form profiles and paths and their curves. The profile origin point represents a coordinate system with an origin (reference point) which can be manipulated to move the curves of a profile together as a unit after dissolve. Profile origin points may themselves be constrained to other parts of the model or parts of the form, based on how the form was created/constructed. This is done through the reference point hosting mechanism.
