NewAreaLoad Method (CurveArray, Int32[], Int32[], IList(XYZ), Boolean, AreaLoadType)

Creates a new unhosted area load with variable forces at the vertices within the project.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.Creation
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 2015.0.0.0 (2015.0.0.0)

Syntax

C# 
public AreaLoad NewAreaLoad(
	CurveArray curvesArr,
	int[] refPntIdxs,
	int[] ends,
	IList<XYZ> forces,
	bool isReaction,
	AreaLoadType symbol
)
Visual Basic 
Public Function NewAreaLoad ( _
	curvesArr As CurveArray, _
	refPntIdxs As Integer(), _
	ends As Integer(), _
	forces As IList(Of XYZ), _
	isReaction As Boolean, _
	symbol As AreaLoadType _
) As AreaLoad
Visual C++ 
public:
AreaLoad^ NewAreaLoad(
	CurveArray^ curvesArr, 
	array<int>^ refPntIdxs, 
	array<int>^ ends, 
	IList<XYZ^>^ forces, 
	bool isReaction, 
	AreaLoadType^ symbol
)

Parameters

curvesArr
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB CurveArray
An array of curves that define the shape of the area load curves.
refPntIdxs
Type: System Int32
The indices of the curves in curvesArr that will be used to define the reference points for the load.
ends
Type: System Int32
Identifies which of the curve end points should be used for the reference points, for each member of refPntIdxs. The value should be 0 for the start point or 1 for the end point of the curve.
forces
Type: System.Collections.Generic IList XYZ
The 3d area forces applied to each of the reference points in the refPntIdxs array.
isReaction
Type: System Boolean
Specifies if the load is a reaction load. The load cannot be modified if isReaction=True.
symbol
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure AreaLoadType
The symbol of the AreaLoad.

Return Value

If successful, NewAreaLoad returns an object for the newly created AreaLoad. a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) is returned if the operation fails.

Remarks

The size of the refPntIdxs, ends, and forces arrays must be the same, and a maximum of 3 values is permitted.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions InvalidOperationException If the product is not Revit Structure.
