Create Method (Curve, XYZ)

Creates a Surface object coincident with the ruled surface joining a bounded generating curve to a point.

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

Syntax

C# 
public static Surface Create(
	Curve profileCurve,
	XYZ point
)
Visual Basic 
Public Shared Function Create ( _
	profileCurve As Curve, _
	point As XYZ _
) As Surface
Visual C++ 
public:
static Surface^ Create(
	Curve^ profileCurve, 
	XYZ^ point
)

Parameters

profileCurve
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Curve
The profile curve; must be bounded and non-degenerate.
point
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The point. Expected to lie within the Revit design limits IsWithinLengthLimits(XYZ) .

Return Value

The created surface. Note that this surface may not be of type RuledSurf.

Remarks

The returned surface may not be of type RuledSurf - this function will create a surface of the simplest possible type (Plane, CylindricalSurface, etc.) that can be used to represent the given ruled surface. Given that the surface may be simplified, this function does not guarantee any particular parameterization of the surface.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentException The input profileCurve is not bound. -or- The profileCurve is degenerate (its length is too close to zero). -or- The input point lies outside of Revit design limits.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
