static Wall^ Create(
	Document^ document, 
	IList<Curve^>^ profile, 
	ElementId^ wallTypeId, 
	ElementId^ levelId, 
	bool structural, 
	XYZ^ normal
)

Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Document
The document in which the new wall is created.
profile
Type: System.Collections.Generic..::..IList<(Of <(<'Curve>)>)>
An array of planar curves that represent the vertical profile of the wall.
wallTypeId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..ElementId
Id of the wall type to be used by the new wall instead of the default type.
levelId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..ElementId
Id of the level on which the wall is to be placed.
structural
Type: System..::..Boolean
If set, specifies that the wall is structural in nature.
normal
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..XYZ
A vector that must be perpendicular to the profile which dictates which side of the wall is considered to be inside and outside.

Return Value

If successful a new wall object within the project.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
