ValidateCurve Method (Curve, DirectShapeTargetViewType)


Validates curve to be added to the view-specific shape being constructed. Called by AddCurve() to validate input. This function may be used to pre-validate the geometry being added to avoid AddCurve() throwing an InvalidArgumentException

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 16.0.0.0 (16.0.0.0)
Since: 2016

Syntax

C#
public static bool ValidateCurve(
	Curve GCurve,
	DirectShapeTargetViewType targetViewType
)
Visual Basic
Public Shared Function ValidateCurve ( _
	GCurve As Curve, _
	targetViewType As DirectShapeTargetViewType _
) As Boolean
Visual C++
public:
static bool ValidateCurve(
	Curve^ GCurve, 
	DirectShapeTargetViewType targetViewType
)

Parameters

GCurve
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Curve
Curve object to be validated.
targetViewType
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB DirectShapeTargetViewType
View type for which this curve is intended.

Return Value

True is %GCurve% is acceptable as a part of view-specific shape representation.

Remarks

Validation conditions depend on the type of view for which the shape representation is intended. For plan views, a curve is expected to be planar and non-degenerate (e.g., NOT a circle of zero radius).

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentOutOfRangeException A value passed for an enumeration argument is not a member of that enumeration
