SetFromCurvesAndShape Method

Set an instance of a RebarContainerItem element according to the parameters list. The instance will have the default shape parameters from the RebarShape. If the RebarShapeDefinesHooks flag in ReinforcementSettings has been set to true, then both the curves and hooks must match the RebarShape definition. Otherwise, the hooks can be different than the defaults specified in the RebarShape

Parameters

rebarShape
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure RebarShape
A RebarShape element that defines the shape of the rebar. A RebarShape element matches curves and hooks. A RebarShape element provides RebarStyle of the rebar.
barType
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure RebarBarType
A RebarBarType element that defines bar diameter, bend radius and material of the rebar.
startHook
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure RebarHookType
A RebarHookType element that defines the hook for the start of the bar. If this parameter is a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) , it means to create a rebar with no hook.
endHook
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure RebarHookType
A RebarHookType element that defines the hook for the end of the bar. If this parameter is a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) , it means to create a rebar with no hook.
norm
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The normal to the plane that the rebar curves lie on.
curves
Type: System.Collections.Generic IList Curve
An array of curves that define the shape of the rebar curves. They must belong to the plane defined by the normal and origin. Bends and hooks should not be included in the array of curves.
startHookOrient
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure RebarHookOrientation
Defines the orientation of the hook plane at the start of the rebar with respect to the orientation of the first curve and the plane normal. Only two values are permitted: Value = Right: The hook is on your right as you stand at the end of the bar, with the bar behind you, taking the bar's normal as "up." Value = Left: The hook is on your left as you stand at the end of the bar, with the bar behind you, taking the bar's normal as "up."
endHookOrient
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure RebarHookOrientation
Defines the orientation of the hook plane at the end of the rebar with respect to the orientation of the last curve and the plane normal. Only two values are permitted: Value = Right: The hook is on your right as you stand at the end of the bar, with the bar behind you, taking the bar's normal as "up." Value = Left: The hook is on your left as you stand at the end of the bar, with the bar behind you, taking the bar's normal as "up."

Exceptions

Exception Condition

Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentOutOfRangeException norm has zero length. -or- A value passed for an enumeration argument is not a member of that enumeration
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentsInconsistentException curves contains non-fillet arcs with radii that are less than the minimum bend radius for the RebarBarType and RebarShape style.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions DisabledDisciplineException None of the following disciplines is enabled: Structural.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions InvalidOperationException rebarShape does not match curves.
