ItemFactoryBase.NewModelCurve

Public Class

Creates a new model line element.

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

Syntax

public ModelCurve NewModelCurve(
  Curve geometryCurve,
  SketchPlane sketchPlane
)

Parameters

geometryCurve Curve

The internal geometry curve for model line.

sketchPlane SketchPlane

The sketch plane this new model line resides in.

Return Value

ModelCurve
If successful a new model line element. Otherwise ..

Exceptions

Exception

Condition

ArgumentException

Thrown when curve is not in the plane

Remarks

Different type of model curve element will be returned according to the type of geometry curve.

Example

// get handle to application from document
Autodesk.Revit.ApplicationServices.Application application = document.Application;

// Create a geometry line in Revit application
XYZ startPoint = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);
XYZ endPoint = new XYZ(10, 10, 0);
Line geomLine = Line.CreateBound(startPoint, endPoint);

// Create a geometry arc in Revit application
XYZ end0 = new XYZ(1, 0, 0);
XYZ end1 = new XYZ(10, 10, 10);
XYZ pointOnCurve = new XYZ(10, 0, 0);
Arc geomArc = Arc.Create(end0, end1, pointOnCurve);

// Create a geometry plane in Revit application
XYZ origin = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);
XYZ normal = new XYZ(1, 1, 0);
Plane geomPlane = Plane.CreateByNormalAndOrigin(normal, origin);

// Create a sketch plane in current document
SketchPlane sketch = SketchPlane.Create(document, geomPlane);

// Create a ModelLine element using the created geometry line and sketch plane
ModelLine line = document.Create.NewModelCurve(geomLine, sketch) as ModelLine;

// Create a ModelArc element using the created geometry arc and sketch plane
ModelArc arc = document.Create.NewModelCurve(geomArc, sketch) as ModelArc;
