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 (17.0.1090.0)

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`[ObsoleteAttribute("This method is obsolete in Revit 2017.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ObsoleteAttribute("This method is obsolete in Revit 2017.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`[ObsoleteAttribute(L"This method is obsolete in Revit 2017.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)
