Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Document
The Document.
startPoint
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB ReferencePoint
First diagonal point of rectangle.
endPoint
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB ReferencePoint
Second diagonal point of rectangle.
projectionType
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB CurveProjectionType
Projection type of rectangle's boundary curves. If the rectangle input points are Face hosted, and CurveProjectionType::ParallelToLevel is requested, and the Face normal at the location of the start point is at a less than 45 degree angle with the level planes, then the projectionType will be set to FromTopDown, even if ParallelToLevel was requested.
boundaryReferenceLines
Type: System Boolean
True if rectangle's boundary curves should be reference lines, false otherwise.
boundaryCurvesFollowSurface
Type: System Boolean
True if rectangle's boundary curves should follow surface, false otherwise.
createdCurvesIds
Type: System.Collections.Generic IList ElementId %
Created rectangle's boundary curves ids.
createdCornersIds
Type: System.Collections.Generic IList ElementId %
Ids of two newly created corner points.

Remarks

This array contains the ElementIds of the two additional corner points that are created to complete the rectangle.
