NewPlane Method (XYZ, XYZ)

Creates a new geometric plane object based on a normal vector and an origin.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.Creation
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 17.0.0.0 (17.0.484.0)

Syntax

C# 
[ObsoleteAttribute("This method is obsolete in Revit 2017. Please use Plane.CreateByNormalAndOrigin() instead.")]
public Plane NewPlane(
	XYZ norm,
	XYZ origin
)
Visual Basic 
<ObsoleteAttribute("This method is obsolete in Revit 2017. Please use Plane.CreateByNormalAndOrigin() instead.")> _
Public Function NewPlane ( _
	norm As XYZ, _
	origin As XYZ _
) As Plane
Visual C++ 
[ObsoleteAttribute(L"This method is obsolete in Revit 2017. Please use Plane.CreateByNormalAndOrigin() instead.")]
public:
Plane^ NewPlane(
	XYZ^ norm, 
	XYZ^ origin
)

Parameters

norm
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
Z vector of the plane coordinate system.
origin
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
Origin of the plane coordinate system.

Return Value

A new plane object.

Examples

Copy C# 
 // Create a geometry plane in Revit application
XYZ normal = XYZ.BasisZ;    // use basis of the z-axis (0,0,1) for normal vector 
XYZ origin = XYZ.Zero;  // origin is (0,0,0)  
Plane geomPlane = Plane.CreateByNormalAndOrigin(normal, origin);
Copy VB.NET 
   ' Create a geometry plane in Revit application
   Dim normal As XYZ = XYZ.BasisZ
   ' use basis of the z-axis (0,0,1) for normal vector 
   Dim origin As XYZ = XYZ.Zero
   ' origin is (0,0,0)  
Dim geomPlane As Plane = Plane.CreateByNormalAndOrigin(normal, origin)
