Parameters

reference
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Reference
A Geometry reference to a Beam's, Brace's or Column's analytical line end.
X_Translation
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure TranslationRotationValue
A value indicating the X axis translation option.
X_TranslationSpringModulus
Type: System Double
Translation Spring Modulus for X axis. Ignored if X_Translation is not "Spring".
Y_Translation
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure TranslationRotationValue
A value indicating the Y axis translation option.
Y_TranslationSpringModulus
Type: System Double
Translation Spring Modulus for Y axis. Ignored if Y_Translation is not "Spring".
Z_Translation
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure TranslationRotationValue
A value indicating the Z axis translation option.
Z_TranslationSpringModulus
Type: System Double
Translation Spring Modulus for Z axis. Ignored if Z_Translation is not "Spring".
X_Rotation
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure TranslationRotationValue
A value indicating the option for rotation about the X axis.
X_RotationSpringModulus
Type: System Double
Rotation Spring Modulus for X axis. Ignored if X_Rotation is not "Spring".
Y_Rotation
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure TranslationRotationValue
A value indicating the option for rotation about the Y axis.
Y_RotationSpringModulus
Type: System Double
Rotation Spring Modulus for Y axis. Ignored if Y_Rotation is not "Spring".
Z_Rotation
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure TranslationRotationValue
A value indicating the option for rotation about the Z axis.
Z_RotationSpringModulus
Type: System Double
Rotation Spring Modulus for Z axis. Ignored if Y_Rotation is not "Spring".

Return Value

If successful, NewPointBoundaryConditions returns an object for the newly created BoundaryConditions with the BoundaryType = 0 - "Point". a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) is returned if the operation fails.

Remarks

This method will only function with the Autodesk Revit Structure application.
