CalculateSpatialElementGeometry Method

Compute the spatial element geometry and returns the boundary face information.

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

Syntax

C# 
public SpatialElementGeometryResults CalculateSpatialElementGeometry(
	SpatialElement spatialElement
)
Visual Basic 
Public Function CalculateSpatialElementGeometry ( _
	spatialElement As SpatialElement _
) As SpatialElementGeometryResults
Visual C++ 
public:
SpatialElementGeometryResults^ CalculateSpatialElementGeometry(
	SpatialElement^ spatialElement
)

Parameters

spatialElement
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB SpatialElement
Specifies the spatial element needs to be computed, should be Room or Space.

Return Value

Requested boundary face information.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentException spatialElement is not a room or a space, and thus has no 3D geometry to calculate. -or- spatialElement is not enclosed in 2d or has no location, or the height is too small, and thus has no 3D geometry to calculate.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions InvalidOperationException Failed to compute the given spatial element's geometry.
