Parameters

text
Type: System..::..String
The text to be displayed.
modelTextType
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..ModelTextType
The type of model text. If this parameter is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the default type will be used.
sketchPlane
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..SketchPlane
The sketch plane of the model text. The direction of model text is determined by the normal of the sketch plane. To extrude in the other direction set the depth value to negative.
position
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..XYZ
The position of the model text. The position must lie in the sketch plane.
horizontalAlign
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..HorizontalAlign
The horizontal alignment.
depth
Type: System..::..Double
The depth of the model text.

Return Value

If successful, the newly created model text is returned, otherwise an exception with error information will be thrown.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ArgumentNullException Thrown when the input argument text, sketchPlane or XYZ is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ArgumentException Thrown when input argument text is an empty string. Thrown when input argument horizontalAlign or depth is invalid.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..InvalidOperationException Thrown when model text creation failed.
