IsValidProfileCurve Method (Frame, Curve)

Checks if the input profile curve is valid to create a surface of revolution in the given frame of reference.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 17.0.0.0 (17.0.1090.0)
Since: 2017

Syntax

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

Parameters

frameOfReference
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Frame
frameOfReference is an orthonormal frame that defines a local coordinate system for the surface of revolution.
  • The frame can be "right-handed" or "left-handed".
  • The origin of the frame is the base of point of the axis of revolution.
  • The BasisZ of the frame is 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 the xz plane of the frame.
  • It lies on the right side of the axis.
  • Only the end points of the profile curve can touch the axis.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
