AlignPartByInsertionPointAndCutInToStraight Method

Align the part by its insertion point to a point and rotation on a straight. This will automatically size and connect the part being cut into, if possible.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 18.0.0.0 (18.0.0.420)
Since: 2018

Syntax

C# 
public static bool AlignPartByInsertionPointAndCutInToStraight(
	Document document,
	ElementId straightId,
	ElementId partId,
	XYZ position,
	double rotation,
	double slope,
	bool flip
)
Visual Basic 
Public Shared Function AlignPartByInsertionPointAndCutInToStraight ( _
	document As Document, _
	straightId As ElementId, _
	partId As ElementId, _
	position As XYZ, _
	rotation As Double, _
	slope As Double, _
	flip As Boolean _
) As Boolean
Visual C++ 
public:
static bool AlignPartByInsertionPointAndCutInToStraight(
	Document^ document, 
	ElementId^ straightId, 
	ElementId^ partId, 
	XYZ^ position, 
	double rotation, 
	double slope, 
	bool flip
)

Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Document
The document.
straightId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB ElementId
The element identifier of the straight to be cut in to.
partId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB ElementId
The element identifier of the part to align and cut in with.
position
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The position to move the parts insertion point to.
rotation
Type: System Double
The rotation in radians.
slope
Type: System Double
The slope value to flex to match if possible in fractional units (eg.1/50). Positive values are up, negative are down. Slopes can only be applied to fittings, whilst straights will inherit the slope from the piece it is connecting to.
flip
Type: System Boolean
Flip the part to allow for flow direction.

Return Value

True if the alignment succeeds, false otherwise.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentException The element is not a fabrication part. -or- Not all of the fabrication part's connectors are open. -or- The part is not a straight. -or- The fabrication parts do not have matching domain types. -or- The position is not on the straight.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions InvalidOperationException Failed to align the part to the straight to cut in to.
