[ObsoleteAttribute("
                  AddWireType is deprecated in Revit 2026 and will be removed in a future version of Revit. Please use WireType.Duplicate() instead.
                  WireMaterialType object can no longer set to the WireType, use property WireType.WireMaterial instead.
                  TemperatureRatingType object can no longer set to the WireType, use property WireType.TemperatureRating instead.
                  InsulationType object can no longer set to the WireType, use property WireType.Insulation instead.
                  MaxSize object can no longer set to the WireType, use property WireType.MaxSize instead.

Parameters

name  String
Name of the new wire type.
materialType  WireMaterialType
Wire material of new wire type.
temperatureRating  TemperatureRatingType
Temperature rating type information of new wire type.
insulation  InsulationType
Insulation of new wire type.
maxSize  WireSize
Max wire size of new wire type.
neutralMultiplier  Double
Neutral multiplier of new wire type.
neutralRequired  Boolean
Specify whether neutral point is required.
neutralMode  NeutralMode
Specify neutral mode.
conduit  WireConduitType
Conduit type of new wire type.

Return Value

WireType
New added wire type object.
Remarks
Parameter of temperatureRating should be retrieved from parameter of materialType, and parameters such as insulation and maxSize should be retrieved from temperatureRating. otherwise, this add operation is most likely to fail.
