CreateMultiPlaneFilter Method (IList(Plane))

Creates a new point cloud filter based upon planar boundaries.

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

Syntax

C# 
public static PointCloudFilter CreateMultiPlaneFilter(
	IList<Plane> planes
)
Visual Basic 
Public Shared Function CreateMultiPlaneFilter ( _
	planes As IList(Of Plane) _
) As PointCloudFilter
Visual C++ 
public:
static PointCloudFilter^ CreateMultiPlaneFilter(
	IList<Plane^>^ planes
)

Parameters

planes
Type: System.Collections.Generic IList Plane
All planes used for filtering; positive direction of the normal should point inside the volume of interest. Only points on the "positive" side of all planes will pass the filter.

Return Value

Filter object; can be used to get representative set of cloud points passing through the filter.

Remarks

The filter will check whether a point is located on the "positive" side of each plane, as indicated by the positive direction of the plane normal. Therefore, such filter implicitly defines a volume, which is the intersection of the positive half-spaces corresponding to all the planes. This volume does not have to be closed, but it will always be convex.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
