RebarRebarShapeMatchesCurvesAndHooks Method

Checks if rebarShape matches curves and hooks. If the RebarShapeDefinesHooks flag in ReinforcementSettings has been set to false, then this method will ignore the hook information.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure

Syntax
public static bool RebarShapeMatchesCurvesAndHooks(
	RebarShape rebarShape,
	RebarBarType barType,
	XYZ norm,
	IList<Curve> curves,
	RebarHookType startHook,
	RebarHookType endHook,
	RebarHookOrientation startHookOrient,
	RebarHookOrientation endHookOrient
)

Parameters

rebarShape  RebarShape
A RebarShape element that defines the shape of the rebar.
barType  RebarBarType
A RebarBarType element that defines bar diameter, bend radius and material of the rebar.
norm  XYZ
The normal to the plane that the rebar curves lie on.
curves  IListCurve
An array of curves that define the shape of the rebar curves. They must belong to the plane defined by the normal and origin. Bends and hooks should not be included in the array of curves.
startHook  RebarHookType
A RebarHookType element that defines the hook for the start of the bar.
endHook  RebarHookType
A RebarHookType element that defines the hook for the end of the bar.
startHookOrient  RebarHookOrientation
Defines the orientation of the hook plane at the start of the rebar with respect to the orientation of the first curve and the plane normal. Only two values are permitted: Value = Right: The hook is on your right as you stand at the end of the bar, with the bar behind you, taking the bar's normal as "up." Value = Left: The hook is on your left as you stand at the end of the bar, with the bar behind you, taking the bar's normal as "up."
endHookOrient  RebarHookOrientation
Defines the orientation of the hook plane at the end of the rebar with respect to the orientation of the last curve and the plane normal. Only two values are permitted: Value = Right: The hook is on your right as you stand at the end of the bar, with the bar behind you, taking the bar's normal as "up." Value = Left: The hook is on your left as you stand at the end of the bar, with the bar behind you, taking the bar's normal as "up."

Return Value

Boolean
True if rebarShape matches curves and hooks.
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
ArgumentException The input curves is empty. -or- The input curves contains at least one curve which is not a bound Line or bound Arc and is not supported for this operation. -or- curves do not form a valid CurveLoop. -or- The input curves contains at least one helical curve and is not supported for this operation.
ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentOutOfRangeException norm has zero length. -or- A value passed for an enumeration argument is not a member of that enumeration
