Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Document
The document.
stairsId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..ElementId
The stairs that the new stairs run will belong to.
locationPath
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Line
The line for location path of the new stairs run. The line has following restriction:
  • The line should be bound line which is parallel to the XY plane.
  • The Z coordinate of the line is the base elevation for the new run (in model coordinates). It must be greater than or equal to the stairs base elevation.
  • The number of created risers will be calculated by rounding the length of the location path to a multiple of the tread depth.
justification
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Architecture..::..StairsRunJustification
The location path justification of the new stairs run.

Return Value

The new stairs run.

Remarks

The new stairs run and the document will be regenerated. This should be run from within an open transaction.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ArgumentException The stairsId is not a valid stairs element. -or- The input locationPath is not a bound line. -or- The input locationPath is not a valid location path line for straight run. -or- The locationPath is not valid line used as stairs path(probably it's too short).
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ArgumentOutOfRangeException A value passed for an enumeration argument is not a member of that enumeration
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..InvalidOperationException The stairs element represented by stairsId is not in an active StairsEditScope. New components cannot be added to it.
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.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..RegenerationFailedException The locationPath doesn't satisfy restrictions to generate straight run.
