Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Document
The document.
hostElement
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Element
The element that will host the AreaReinforcement. The host can be either a Structural Floor or Structural Wall.
curveArray
Type: System.Collections.Generic IList Curve
An array of curves that will define the outline of the AreaReinforcement.
majorDirection
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
A vector to define the major direction of the AreaReinforcement.

Return Value

The newly created AreaReinforcement.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentException The input curveArray is empty. -or- The input curveArray contains at least one helical curve and is not supported for this operation. -or- The document document does not contain the element hostElement -or- the host Element is not a valid host for Area Reinforcement, Path Reinforcement, Fabric Area or Fabric Sheet. -or- Curves in curveArray are not closed and continuous.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentOutOfRangeException majorDirection has zero length.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions DisabledDisciplineException None of the following disciplines is enabled: Structural.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ForbiddenForDynamicUpdateException This method may not be called during dynamic update.
