Syntax

public static Plane CreateByOriginAndBasis(
	XYZ origin,
	XYZ basisX,
	XYZ basisY
)

Public Shared Function CreateByOriginAndBasis ( 
	origin As XYZ,
	basisX As XYZ,
	basisY As XYZ
) As Plane

public:
static Plane^ CreateByOriginAndBasis(
	XYZ^ origin, 
	XYZ^ basisX, 
	XYZ^ basisY
)

static member CreateByOriginAndBasis : 
        origin : XYZ * 
        basisX : XYZ * 
        basisY : XYZ -> Plane

origin XYZ: Plane origin. Expected to lie within the Revit design limits IsWithinLengthLimits(XYZ).
basisX XYZ: First of the two unit vectors that define the plane. Must be orthogonal to the second one.
basisY XYZ: Second of the two unit vectors that define the plane. Must be orthogonal to the first one.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The input point lies outside of Revit design limits.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	basisX is not length 1.0. -or- basisY is not length 1.0.
ArgumentsInconsistentException	The vectors basisX and basisY are not perpendicular.

Remarks

The parametric equation of the plane is S(u, v) = origin + u*basisX + v*basisY. The plane's normal is defined as basisX.Cross(basisY).
