ValidateCurve Method


Validates curve to be added to the view-specific shape being constructed. Called by AddCurve() to validate input. Expects a valid view normal to be set prior to the call.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 16.0.0.0 (16.0.0.0)
Since: 2015

Syntax

C#
public bool ValidateCurve(
	Curve GCurve
)
Visual Basic
Public Function ValidateCurve ( _
	GCurve As Curve _
) As Boolean
Visual C++
public:
bool ValidateCurve(
	Curve^ GCurve
)

Parameters

GCurve
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Curve
Curve object to be validated.

Return Value

True is %GCurve% is acceptable as a part of view-specific shape representation being built.

Remarks

This function may be used to pre-validate the geometry being added to avoid AddCurve() throwing an InvalidArgumentException Validation conditions depend on the type of view for which the shape representation is intended. For plan views, a curve is expected to be planar and non-degenerate (e.g., NOT a circle of zero radius).

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
