Clear Method (String)

Resets the field to its default value.

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

Syntax

C# 
public void Clear(
	string fieldName
)
Visual Basic 
Public Sub Clear ( _
	fieldName As String _
)
Visual C++ 
public:
void Clear(
	String^ fieldName
)

Parameters

fieldName
Type: System String
The name of the field to clear.

Remarks

The default value is zero for numeric fields, invalid value for identifiers and entities, and empty for strings and containers. This method is a shortcut that will look up the field by name. If you want to call it on many entities, it is faster if you look up the field yourself.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentException The name matches no field in this Entity's Schema. -or- This field's subschema prevents writing.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions InvalidOperationException This Entity is invalid.
