Creates a new BeamSystem with specified profile curves.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 2015.0.0.0 (2015.0.0.0)
Since: 2014

Syntax

C# 
public static BeamSystem Create(
	Document document,
	IList<Curve> profile,
	SketchPlane sketchPlane,
	XYZ direction,
	bool is3d
)
Visual Basic 
Public Shared Function Create ( _
	document As Document, _
	profile As IList(Of Curve), _
	sketchPlane As SketchPlane, _
	direction As XYZ, _
	is3d As Boolean _
) As BeamSystem
Visual C++ 
public:
static BeamSystem^ Create(
	Document^ document, 
	IList<Curve^>^ profile, 
	SketchPlane^ sketchPlane, 
	XYZ^ direction, 
	bool is3d
)

Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Document
The document in which the new BeamSystem is created.
profile
Type: System.Collections.Generic IList Curve
The profile of the BeamSystem.
sketchPlane
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB SketchPlane
The work-plane for the BeamSystem.
direction
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The direction is the direction of the BeamSystem.
is3d
Type: System Boolean
Whether the BeamSystem is 3D. If the BeamSystem is 3D, the sketchPlane must be a level, otherwise an exception will be thrown.

Return Value

If successful, a new BeamSystem object will be returned.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentException SketchPlane is not valid for BeamSystem creation. -or- The input profile contains at least one helical curve and is not supported for this operation. -or- The profile curves must be in the sketch plane.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions InvalidOperationException The BeamSystem is 3D, but the SketchPlane is not a level.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ModificationForbiddenException The document is in failure mode: an operation has failed, and Revit requires the user to either cancel the operation or fix the problem (usually by deleting certain elements). -or- The document is being loaded, or is in the midst of another sensitive process.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ModificationOutsideTransactionException The document has no open transaction.
