Syntax

C# 
public PointLoad NewPointLoad(
	XYZ point,
	XYZ force,
	XYZ moment,
	bool isReaction,
	PointLoadType symbol,
	SketchPlane plane
)
Visual Basic 
Public Function NewPointLoad ( _
	point As XYZ, _
	force As XYZ, _
	moment As XYZ, _
	isReaction As Boolean, _
	symbol As PointLoadType, _
	plane As SketchPlane _
) As PointLoad
Visual C++ 
public:
PointLoad^ NewPointLoad(
	XYZ^ point, 
	XYZ^ force, 
	XYZ^ moment, 
	bool isReaction, 
	PointLoadType^ symbol, 
	SketchPlane^ plane
)

Parameters

point
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The point of the PointLoad application.
force
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The 3d force.
moment
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The 3d moment.
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 PointLoadType
The symbol of the PointLoad.
plane
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB SketchPlane
Indicate the work plane of the PointLoad.

Return Value

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

Examples

Copy C# 
//Define the location at which the PointLoad is applied. 
 XYZ point = new XYZ(0, 0, 4);
 //Define the 3d force. 
 XYZ force = new XYZ(0, 0, -1);
 //Define the 3d moment. 
 XYZ moment = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);
 //Set to True if you wish to create the reaction
 System.Boolean isReaction = true;

 PointLoad pointLoad = document.Create.NewPointLoad(point, force, moment, isReaction, null, null);
Copy VB.NET 
'Define the location at which the PointLoad is applied. 
Dim point As New XYZ(0, 0, 4)
'Define the 3d force. 
Dim force As New XYZ(0, 0, -1)
'Define the 3d moment. 
Dim moment As New XYZ(0, 0, 0)
'Set to True if you wish to create the reaction
Dim isReaction As System.Boolean = True

Dim pointLoad As PointLoad = document.Create.NewPointLoad(point, force, moment, isReaction, Nothing, Nothing)
