DirectShapeType.AppendShape(IList.GeometryObject., DirectShapeTargetViewType)

Public Class

Appends the collection of GeometryObjects into the model or view specific shape representation stored in this DirectShapeType. Passing DirectShapeTargetViewType.Default as view type will cause the model shape to be updated.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB

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

Syntax

public void AppendShape(
  IList<GeometryObject> pGeomArr,
  DirectShapeTargetViewType viewType
)

Parameters

pGeomArrIList. GeometryObject.

Shape expressed as a collection of GeometryObjects. For viewType = DirectShapeTargetViewType::Default, the supported types of GeometryObjects are: Solid, Mesh, GeometryInstance, Point, Curve and PolyLine. For viewType = DirectShapeTargetViewType::Plan, the supported types of GeometryObjects are: Point and Curve.

viewType DirectShapeTargetViewType

Passing DirectShapeTargetViewType.Default as view type will cause the default shape to be appended.

Exceptions

Exception

Condition

ArgumentException

At least one member of pGeomArr does not satisfy DirectShapeType validation criteria.

ArgumentNullException

A non-optional argument was null

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

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

Remarks

The existing shape will not be cleared by this function, and intersecting or overlapped geometry will not be joined with the appended geometry. It is up to the caller to ensure that the combination of geometry will have the correct appearance in Revit.
