public RebarShapeDefinitionByArc(
	Document doc,
	double height,
	double pitch,
	int baseFinishingTurns,
	int topFinishingTurns
)
Visual Basic
Public Sub New ( _

)

Parameters

doc
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Document
height
Type: System..::..Double
The height of the spiral (assuming the spiral is vertical).
pitch
Type: System..::..Double
The pitch, or vertical distance traveled in one rotation.
baseFinishingTurns
Type: System..::..Int32
The number of finishing turns at the lower end of the spiral.
topFinishingTurns
Type: System..::..Int32
The number of finishing turns at the upper end of the spiral.

Remarks

In order to create a spiral definition, you must provide default values for the spiral-specific parameters. Replaces RebarShape.NewDefinitionByArc() from prior versions.
