CreatePointCloudAccess Method


Implement this method to construct the IPointCloudAccess interface for the point cloud designated by the identifier. This method is called once during the creation of a PointCloudType.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.PointClouds
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 2015.0.0.0 (2015.0.0.0)
Since: 2012

Syntax

C#
IPointCloudAccess CreatePointCloudAccess(
	string identifier
)
Visual Basic
Function CreatePointCloudAccess ( _
	identifier As String _
) As IPointCloudAccess
Visual C++
IPointCloudAccess^ CreatePointCloudAccess(
	String^ identifier
)

Parameters

identifier
Type: System String
An identifier unique to the point cloud. This will be a file name if the engine was registered as file-based, or an arbitrary identifier if the engine is not file-based.

The instance of the returned IPointCloudAccess is then used by Revit to display instances of the point cloud in Revit graphics and in the user interface.
