RuledSurfaceCreate(Curve, XYZ) Method

Creates a Surface object coincident with the ruled surface joining a bounded generating curve to a point.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)

Syntax

public static Surface Create(
	Curve profileCurve,
	XYZ point
)

Public Shared Function Create ( 
	profileCurve As Curve,
	point As XYZ
) As Surface

public:
static Surface^ Create(
	Curve^ profileCurve, 
	XYZ^ point
)

static member Create : 
        profileCurve : Curve * 
        point : XYZ -> Surface

Parameters

profileCurve Curve: The profile curve; must be bounded and non-degenerate.
point XYZ: The point. Expected to lie within the Revit design limits IsWithinLengthLimits(XYZ).

Return Value

Surface
The created surface. Note that this surface may not be of type RuledSurf.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The input profileCurve is not bound. -or- The profileCurve is degenerate (its length is too close to zero). -or- The input point lies outside of Revit design limits.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null

Remarks

The returned surface may not be of type RuledSurf - this function will create a surface of the simplest possible type (Plane, CylindricalSurface, etc.) that can be used to represent the given ruled surface. Given that the surface may be simplified, this function does not guarantee any particular parameterization of the surface.
