IsValidProfileCurve Method (XYZ, XYZ, Curve)


Checks if the input profile curve is valid to create a surface of revolution around the given axis.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 17.0.0.0 (17.0.484.0)
Since: 2017

Syntax

C#
public static bool IsValidProfileCurve(
	XYZ axisBasePoint,
	XYZ axisDirection,
	Curve profileCurve
)
Visual Basic
Public Shared Function IsValidProfileCurve ( _
	axisBasePoint As XYZ, _
	axisDirection As XYZ, _
	profileCurve As Curve _
) As Boolean
Visual C++
public:
static bool IsValidProfileCurve(
	XYZ^ axisBasePoint, 
	XYZ^ axisDirection, 
	Curve^ profileCurve
)

Parameters

axisBasePoint
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The base point of the axis of revolution.
axisDirection
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The direction of the axis.
profileCurve
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Curve
The profile curve.

Return Value

True if the profile curve is valid; False otherwise.

Remarks

The validity is defined as follows:
  • The profile curve is bounded and non-degenerate.
  • It is co-planar with the axis of revolution.
  • It lies on only one side of the axis.
  • Only the end points of the profile curve can touch the axis.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
