Parameters

profileLoops
Type: System.Collections.Generic IList CurveLoop
The profile loops to be extruded. The loops must be closed, coplanar, and without intersections, self-intersections, or degeneracies. No loop may contain just one closed curve - split such loops into two or more curves beforehand. No conditions are imposed on the orientations of the loops: this function will use copies of the input loops that have been oriented as necessary to conform to Revit's orientation conventions.
extrusionDir
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The direction in which to extrude the profile loops. This vector must be non-zero and transverse (i.e., not parallel) to the plane of the profile loops. Its length is irrelevant; only its direction is used.
extrusionDist
Type: System Double
The positive distance by which the loops are to be extruded in the direction of the input extrusionDir.
solidOptions
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB SolidOptions
The optional information to control the properties of the Solid.

Return Value

The requested solid.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentException The profile CurveLoops do not satisfy the input requirements. -or- The Input extrusionDir must be a non-zero vector. The normal of the loop plane should not be perpendicular to the given extrusionDir. -or- The input argument extrusionDist must be positive.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
