Create Method (Document, XYZ, XYZ, XYZ, PointLoadType, SketchPlane)

Creates a new non-hosted point load within the project using data at point.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 16.0.0.0 (16.0.0.0)
Since: 2016

Syntax

C# 
public static PointLoad Create(
	Document aDoc,
	XYZ point,
	XYZ forceVector,
	XYZ momentVector,
	PointLoadType symbol,
	SketchPlane plane
)
Visual Basic 
Public Shared Function Create ( _
	aDoc As Document, _
	point As XYZ, _
	forceVector As XYZ, _
	momentVector As XYZ, _
	symbol As PointLoadType, _
	plane As SketchPlane _
) As PointLoad
Visual C++ 
public:
static PointLoad^ Create(
	Document^ aDoc, 
	XYZ^ point, 
	XYZ^ forceVector, 
	XYZ^ momentVector, 
	PointLoadType^ symbol, 
	SketchPlane^ plane
)

Parameters

aDoc
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Document
Document to which new point load will be added.
point
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The position of point load, measured in decimal feet.
forceVector
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The applied 3d force vector.
momentVector
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The applied 3d moment vector.
symbol
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure PointLoadType
The symbol of the PointLoad. Set a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) to use default type.
plane
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB SketchPlane
The work plane of the PointLoad. Set a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) to use default plane.

Return Value

If successful, returns the newly created PointLoad, a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) otherwise.

Examples

Copy C# 
public PointLoad CreatePointLoad(Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document document)
{
   //Define the location at which the PointLoad is applied. 
    XYZ point = new XYZ(0, 0, 4);
    //Define the 3d force vector. 
    XYZ force = new XYZ(0, 0, -1);
    //Define the 3d moment vector. 
    XYZ moment = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);

    PointLoad pointLoad = PointLoad.Create(document, point, force, moment, null, null);

    return pointLoad;
}
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)

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

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentException Thrown when work plane is not valid.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentsInconsistentException Thrown when force and moment vectors are equal zero.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions InvalidOperationException Thrown if type could not be set for newly created point load.
