MoveOriginToHostOrigin Method

Moves this link instance so that the internal origin of the linked document is aligned to the internal origin of the host document. This is a one-time movement and does not set up any shared coordinates relationship.

If the rotation angle of the link instance was changed after insertion, the rotation angle can be preserved or reset to the original insertion angle.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 17.0.0.0 (17.0.484.0)
Since: 2016 SubscriptionUpdate

Syntax

C# 
public void MoveOriginToHostOrigin(
	bool resetToOriginalRotation
)
Visual Basic 
Public Sub MoveOriginToHostOrigin ( _
	resetToOriginalRotation As Boolean _
)
Visual C++ 
public:
void MoveOriginToHostOrigin(
	bool resetToOriginalRotation
)

Parameters

resetToOriginalRotation
Type: System Boolean

Sets to true if:

  • restoring the original insertion angle of the link instance after it is moved if there was a rotation \ mirror transform on the link instance.
  • there was no a rotation \ mirror transform on the link instance.

Sets to false to retain the current angle of the link instance after it is moved if there was a rotation \ mirror transform on the link instance.

Remarks

This operation can only be performed on instances of top-level links. The internal origin is not necessarily the same location as the Project Base Point. See MoveBasePointToHostBasePoint(Boolean) .

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions InvalidOperationException This RevitLinkInstance is not an instance of a loaded RevitLinkType. -or- This RevitLinkInstance is not an instance of a top-level RevitLinkType. -or- The operation is not permitted because the element is pinned.
