CreateByOriginAndBasis Method

Creates a Plane object defined by the two orthogonal unit vectors and passing through the origin point supplied as arguments.

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

Syntax

C# 
public static Plane CreateByOriginAndBasis(
	XYZ origin,
	XYZ basisX,
	XYZ basisY
)
Visual Basic 
Public Shared Function CreateByOriginAndBasis ( _
	origin As XYZ, _
	basisX As XYZ, _
	basisY As XYZ _
) As Plane
Visual C++ 
public:
static Plane^ CreateByOriginAndBasis(
	XYZ^ origin, 
	XYZ^ basisX, 
	XYZ^ basisY
)

Parameters

origin
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
Plane origin. Expected to lie within the Revit design limits IsWithinLengthLimits(XYZ) .
basisX
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
First of the two unit vectors that define the plane. Must be orthogonal to the second one.
basisY
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
Second of the two unit vectors that define the plane. Must be orthogonal to the first one.

Remarks

The parametric equation of the plane is S(u, v) = origin + u*basisX + v*basisY. The plane's normal is defined as basisX.Cross(basisY).

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentException The input point lies outside of Revit design limits.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentOutOfRangeException basisX is not length 1.0. -or- basisY is not length 1.0.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentsInconsistentException The vectors basisX and basisY are not perpendicular.
