Create new Form element by Loft operation, and add it into the Autodesk Revit family document.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.Creation
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 2015.0.0.0 (2015.0.0.0)

Syntax

C#
`public Form NewLoftForm( bool isSolid, ReferenceArrayArray profiles )`

Visual Basic
`Public Function NewLoftForm ( _ isSolid As Boolean, _ profiles As ReferenceArrayArray _ ) As Form`

Visual C++
`public: Form^ NewLoftForm( bool isSolid, ReferenceArrayArray^ profiles )`

Parameters

isSolid: Type: System Boolean
Indicates if the Form is Solid or Void.

profiles: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB ReferenceArrayArray
The profile set of the newly created loft. Each profile should consist of only one curve loop.

Return Value

If creation was successful form is are returned.
