ViewShapeBuilder Members


The ViewShapeBuilder type exposes the following members.

Constructors

Name Description
Public method ViewShapeBuilder
Default constructor for an ViewShapeBuilder object.
Public method ViewShapeBuilder(DirectShapeTargetViewType)
A constructor for an ViewShapeBuilder object that takes a view type. It will infer the view normal from view type. View normal and view type are used to validate the geometry to be stored as a view-specific shape representation of a DirectShape object.

Methods

Name Description
Public method AddCurve
Add a curve to the GRep associated to this ViewShapeBuilder.
Public method Dispose (Inherited from ShapeBuilder .)
Public method Equals
Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object .
(Inherited from Object .)
Public method GetHashCode
Serves as a hash function for a particular type.
(Inherited from Object .)
Public method GetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object .)
Public method Reset
Clears the accumulated geometry and resets other ViewShapeBuilder parameters to invalid values.
Public method ToString
Returns a string that represents the current object.
(Inherited from Object .)
Public method ValidateCurve(Curve)
Validates curve to be added to the view-specific shape being constructed. Called by AddCurve() to validate input. Expects a valid view normal to be set prior to the call.
Public method Static member ValidateCurve(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
Public method Static member ValidateShape
Validates a shape represented as a collection of geometry objects for use as a view-specific shape. The objects are expected to be either points or curves. Curves are expected to be flat and lie in a plane perpendicular to view normal as defined by view type.
Public method Static member ValidateViewType
Validates the incoming view type. As of today, the only allowed view type is Plan.

Properties

Name Description
Public property IsValidObject
Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
(Inherited from ShapeBuilder .)
Public property ViewNormal
Normal of the view that will display the shape being built. Must be set explicitly before adding any geometry. Must be a unit vector. This is used to validate incoming geometry - it must be orthogonal to the viewNormal.
Public property ViewType
View type where the view-specific shape currently being built will be used
