{
    LocationCurve wallLine = wall.Location as LocationCurve;
    XYZ translationVec = new XYZ(10, 20, 0);
    return (wallLine.Move(translationVec));
}
Copy VB.NET 
Private Function MoveUsingLocationCurve(application As Autodesk.Revit.ApplicationServices.Application, wall As Wall) As Boolean
    Dim wallLine As LocationCurve = TryCast(wall.Location, LocationCurve)
    Dim translationVec As New XYZ(10, 20, 0)
    Return (wallLine.Move(translationVec))
End Function
