Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Document
The document in which the new BeamSystem is created.
profile
Type: System.Collections.Generic..::..IList<(Of <(<'Curve>)>)>
The profile of the BeamSystem.
level
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Level
The level on which the BeamSystem is to be created. The work-plane of the BeamSystem will be the sketch plane associated with the Level. If there is no current sketch plane associated with the level yet, we will create a default one.
direction
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..XYZ
The direction is the direction of the BeamSystem.
is3d
Type: System..::..Boolean
Whether the BeamSystem is 3D. If the BeamSystem is 3D, the sketchPlane must be a level, otherwise an exception will be thrown.

Return Value

If successful, a new BeamSystem object will be returned.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ArgumentException The input profile contains at least one helical curve and is not supported for this operation. -or- The input level does not have associated plan view. -or- The plan view associated with the input level is not valid. -or- Can not get valid sketch plane from the input level.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ModificationForbiddenException The document is in failure mode: an operation has failed, and Revit requires the user to either cancel the operation or fix the problem (usually by deleting certain elements). -or- The document is being loaded, or is in the midst of another sensitive process.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ModificationOutsideTransactionException The document has no open transaction.
