Create new Form element by Loft operation, and add it into the Autodesk Revit family document.

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

Syntax

public Form NewLoftForm(
	bool isSolid,
	ReferenceArrayArray profiles
)

Public Function NewLoftForm ( 
	isSolid As Boolean,
	profiles As ReferenceArrayArray
) As Form

public:
Form^ NewLoftForm(
	bool isSolid, 
	ReferenceArrayArray^ profiles
)

member NewLoftForm : 
        isSolid : bool * 
        profiles : ReferenceArrayArray -> Form

Parameters

isSolid Boolean: Indicates if the Form is Solid or Void.
profiles ReferenceArrayArray: The profile set of the newly created loft. Each profile should consist of only one curve loop.

Return Value

Form
If creation was successful form is are returned.
