public:
static AreaLoad^ Create(
	Document^ aDoc, 
	IList<CurveLoop^>^ loops,

	AreaLoadType^ symbol
)

Parameters

aDoc
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Document
Document to which new area load will be added.
loops
Type: System.Collections.Generic IList CurveLoop
The loops that define geometry of the area load. The curve loop collection should contains a closed loops consisting of lines.
forceVector
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The force vector applied to the 1st reference point of the area load.
symbol
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure AreaLoadType
The symbol of the AreaLoad. Set a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) to use default type.

Return Value

If successful, returns an object of the newly created AreaLoad. a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) is returned if the operation fails.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentException Thrown when force vector is equal zero.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions InvalidOperationException Thrown if type could not be set for newly created line load.
