BeamSystemCreate(Document, IListCurve, Level, XYZ, Boolean) Method

Creates a new BeamSystem with specified profile curves.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)
Syntax
public static BeamSystem Create(
	Document document,
	IList<Curve> profile,
	Level level,
	XYZ direction,
	bool is3d
)

Parameters

document  Document
The document in which the new BeamSystem is created.
profile  IListCurve
The profile of the BeamSystem.
level  Level
The level on which the BeamSystem is to be created. The work-plane of the BeamSystem will be the sketch plane associated with the Level. If there is no current sketch plane associated with the level yet, we will create a default one.
direction  XYZ
The direction is the direction of the BeamSystem.
is3d  Boolean
Whether the BeamSystem is 3D. If the BeamSystem is 3D, the sketchPlane must be a level, otherwise an exception will be thrown.

Return Value

BeamSystem
If successful, a new BeamSystem object will be returned.
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
ArgumentException The input profile contains at least one helical curve and is not supported for this operation. -or- The input level does not have associated plan view. -or- The plan view associated with the input level is not valid. -or- Can not get valid sketch plane from the input level.
ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
ModificationForbiddenException The document is in failure mode: an operation has failed, and Revit requires the user to either cancel the operation or fix the problem (usually by deleting certain elements). -or- The document is being loaded, or is in the midst of another sensitive process.
