)

Parameters

selector
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure..::..AnalyticalElementSelector
End of the analytical model.
planeIdY
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..ElementId
Plane on to which analytical model may be projected in Y direction. Plane identifies a Level, a Grid, or a Ref Plane.
projectionZ
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure..::..StickElementProjectionZ
Preset value for Analytical Model Stick projection Z.
