Creates a new Area BoundaryConditions element on a reference.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.Creation
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)
Syntax
public BoundaryConditions NewAreaBoundaryConditions(
	Reference reference,
	TranslationRotationValue X_Translation,
	double X_TranslationSpringModulus,
	TranslationRotationValue Y_Translation,
	double Y_TranslationSpringModulus,
	TranslationRotationValue Z_Translation,
	double Z_TranslationSpringModulus
)

Parameters

reference  Reference
The Geometry reference obtained from a Wall, Slab or Slab Foundation.
X_Translation  TranslationRotationValue
A value indicating the X axis translation option.
X_TranslationSpringModulus  Double
Translation Spring Modulus for X axis. Ignored if X_Translation is not "Spring".
Y_Translation  TranslationRotationValue
A value indicating the Y axis translation option.
Y_TranslationSpringModulus  Double
Translation Spring Modulus for Y axis. Ignored if Y_Translation is not "Spring".
Z_Translation  TranslationRotationValue
A value indicating the Z axis translation option.
Z_TranslationSpringModulus  Double
Translation Spring Modulus for Z axis. Ignored if Z_Translation is not "Spring".

Return Value

BoundaryConditions
If successful, NewAreaBoundaryConditions returns an object for the newly created BoundaryConditions with the BoundaryType = 2 - "Area". is returned if the operation fails.
Remarks
This method will only function with the Autodesk Revit Structure application.
Example
bool CreateAreaConditionWithReference(AnalyticalPanel wall, Autodesk.Revit.Creation.Document docCreation)
{
   // Get the Geometry reference to the wall
   Reference profileReference = null;
   if (null == wall)
   {
      return false; // the profile reference can't be retrieved.
   }

   // loop through the curves of the wall and get the first one as a reference
   foreach (Curve curve in wall.GetOuterContour())
   {
      AnalyticalModelSelector selector = new AnalyticalModelSelector(curve);

      profileReference = wall.GetReference(selector);
      if (null != profileReference)
      {
         break;
      }
   }
   BoundaryConditions condition = null;
   // Create the Area Boundary Conditions if we have a profileReference
   if (null != profileReference)
   {
      // Create Area Boundary Conditions with profile reference.
      condition = docCreation.NewAreaBoundaryConditions(profileReference, TranslationRotationValue.Fixed, 0,
                                                                          TranslationRotationValue.Fixed, 0,
                                                                          TranslationRotationValue.Fixed, 0);
   }
   return (null != condition);
}
