Copy

// Create a Level and a Floor Plan based on it
double elevation = 10.0;
Level level1 = Level.Create(document, elevation);
ViewPlan floorView = ViewPlan.Create(document, floorPlanId, level1.Id);

// Create another Level and a Ceiling Plan based on it
elevation += 10.0;
Level level2 = Level.Create(document, elevation);
ViewPlan ceilingView = ViewPlan.Create(document, ceilingPlanId, level2.Id);

   ' Create a Level and a Floor Plan based on it
   Dim elevation As Double = 10.0
Dim level1 As Level = Level.Create(document, elevation)
   Dim floorView As ViewPlan = ViewPlan.Create(document, floorPlanId, level1.Id)

   ' Create another Level and a Ceiling Plan based on it
