Gets the local coordinate system (LCS) for an analytical model element.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 21.0.0.0 (21.1.1.109)
Since:  2011

Syntax

C#
public Transform GetLocalCoordinateSystem()
Visual Basic
Public Function GetLocalCoordinateSystem As Transform
Visual C++
public:
Transform^ GetLocalCoordinateSystem()

Return Value

Transformation matrix. Returns nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) for analytical model elements that do not have local coordinate system. Origin returned by transform is point for which local coordinate system was calculated.

Remarks

For obtaining LCS at specified point on analytical model element use [!:Autodesk::Revit::DB::Structure::AnalyticalModelStick::GetLocalCoordinateSystem()] or [!:Autodesk::Revit::DB::Structure::AnalyticalModelSurface.GetLocalCoordinateSystem()] methods.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..InvalidOperationException Thrown when called on Isolated Foundation, Wall Foundation or in-place analytical model element. Those elements do not support local coordinate system.
