WallCreate(Document, IListCurve, ElementId, ElementId, Boolean, XYZ) Method

Creates a non rectangular profile wall within the project using the specified wall type and normal vector.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 27.0.4.0 (27.0.4.0)
Syntax
Copy
public static Wall Create(
	Document document,
	IList<Curve> profile,
	ElementId wallTypeId,
	ElementId levelId,
	bool structural,
	XYZ normal
)

Parameters

document  Document
The document in which the new wall is created.
profile  IListCurve
An array of planar curves that represent the vertical profile of the wall.
wallTypeId  ElementId
Id of the wall type to be used by the new wall instead of the default type.
levelId  ElementId
Id of the level on which the wall is to be placed.
structural  Boolean
If set, specifies that the wall is structural in nature.
normal  XYZ
A vector that must be perpendicular to the profile which dictates which side of the wall is considered to be inside and outside.

Return Value

Wall
If successful a new wall object within the project.
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
ArgumentException The input profile contains at least one helical curve and is not supported for this operation.
ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
InvalidOperationException Failed to create the wall.
ModificationForbiddenException The document is in failure mode: an operation has failed, and Revit requires the user to either cancel the operation or fix the problem (usually by deleting certain elements). -or- The document is being loaded, or is in the midst of another sensitive process.
ModificationOutsideTransactionException The document has no open transaction.
Example
C#
Copy
public Wall CreateWallUsingProfile(Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document document, Level level, WallType wallType)
{
    // Build a wall profile for the wall creation
    XYZ first = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);
    XYZ second = new XYZ(20, 0, 0);
    XYZ third = new XYZ(20, 0, 15);
    XYZ fourth = new XYZ(0, 0, 15);
    IList<Curve> profile = new List<Curve>();

    // Get application creation object
    Autodesk.Revit.Creation.Application appCreation = document.Application.Create;

    profile.Add(Line.CreateBound(first, second));
    profile.Add(Line.CreateBound(second, third));
    profile.Add(Line.CreateBound(third, fourth));
    profile.Add(Line.CreateBound(fourth, first));

    XYZ normal = new XYZ(0, 1, 0);

    // Create a wall
    return Wall.Create(document, profile, wallType.Id, level.Id, true, normal);
