Sets the offset of the analytical model at end.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 2015.0.0.0 (2015.0.0.0)
Since: 2011

Syntax

C#
`public void SetOffset( AnalyticalElementSelector selector, XYZ offset )`

Visual Basic
`Public Sub SetOffset ( _ selector As AnalyticalElementSelector, _ offset As XYZ _ )`

Visual C++
`public: void SetOffset( AnalyticalElementSelector selector, XYZ^ offset )`

Parameters

selector: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure AnalyticalElementSelector
End of analytical model to offset.

offset: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
New offset for end of analytical model.

Examples

Copy C#

// extend the analytical model by 1 foot at each end. Direction of offset is parallel to the analytical model curve.
AnalyticalModel model = familyInstance.GetAnalyticalModel();
Curve curve = model.GetCurve();
XYZ tangentDirection0 = curve.ComputeDerivatives(0, true).BasisX.Normalize().Negate();
XYZ tangentDirection1 = curve.ComputeDerivatives(1, true).BasisX.Normalize();
model.SetOffset(AnalyticalElementSelector.StartOrBase, tangentDirection0);
model.SetOffset(AnalyticalElementSelector.EndOrTop, tangentDirection1);

Copy VB.NET

' extend the analytical model by 1 foot at each end. Direction of offset is parallel to the analytical model curve.
Dim model As AnalyticalModel = familyInstance.GetAnalyticalModel()
Dim curve As Curve = model.GetCurve()
Dim tangentDirection0 As XYZ = curve.ComputeDerivatives(0, True).BasisX.Normalize().Negate()
Dim tangentDirection1 As XYZ = curve.ComputeDerivatives(1, True).BasisX.Normalize()
model.SetOffset(AnalyticalElementSelector.StartOrBase, tangentDirection0)
model.SetOffset(AnalyticalElementSelector.EndOrTop, tangentDirection1)
