GetCaseAndCombinationIds Method

Returns collection of the load combination case and combination IDs.

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

Syntax

C# 
public IList<ElementId> GetCaseAndCombinationIds()
Visual Basic 
Public Function GetCaseAndCombinationIds As IList(Of ElementId)
Visual C++ 
public:
IList<ElementId^>^ GetCaseAndCombinationIds()

Return Value

A collection of the load combination case and combination IDs.

Remarks

Load combination components could be load cases or other load combinations. To set them with factors use [M:Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure.LoadCombination.SetComponents(System.Collections.Generic.IList`1{Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure.LoadComponent})] method.
