Syntax

public class Surface : IDisposable

The Surface type exposes the following members.

Properties

Name

Description

Public Property
IsValidObject

Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.

Public Property
OrientationMatchesParametricOrientation

Indicates whether this Surface’s orientation is the same as or opposite to its parametric orientation.

Methods

Name

Description

Public Method

Dispose

Releases all resources used by the Surface

Public Method

Equals

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object)

Public Method
GetBoundingBoxUV

Gets the UV bounding box of the surface.

Public Method

GetHashCode

Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object)

Public Method

GetType

Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object)

Public Method

Project

Project a 3D point orthogonally onto a surface (to find the nearest point). Throws InvalidOperationException if the projection fails.

Public Method

ProjectWithGuessPoint

Project a 3D point orthogonally onto a surface (to find the nearest point). This method is meant to be used when a good approximate solution for the projection is available. Throws InvalidOperationException if the projection fails.

Public Method

ToString

Returns a string that represents the current object.
(Inherited from Object)

Remarks

This geometric object is not bounded by edges or edge loops. A bounded surface obtained from a Revit element will be represented by a Face instead.
