NewAreaBoundaryConditions Method (Reference, TranslationRotationValue, Double, TranslationRotationValue, Double, TranslationRotationValue, Double)

Creates a new Area BoundaryConditions element on a reference.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.Creation
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 21.0.0.0 (21.1.1.109)

Syntax

C# 
public BoundaryConditions NewAreaBoundaryConditions(
	Reference reference,
	TranslationRotationValue X_Translation,
	double X_TranslationSpringModulus,
	TranslationRotationValue Y_Translation,
	double Y_TranslationSpringModulus,
	TranslationRotationValue Z_Translation,
	double Z_TranslationSpringModulus
)
Visual Basic 
Public Function NewAreaBoundaryConditions ( _
	reference As Reference, _
	X_Translation As TranslationRotationValue, _
	X_TranslationSpringModulus As Double, _
	Y_Translation As TranslationRotationValue, _
	Y_TranslationSpringModulus As Double, _
	Z_Translation As TranslationRotationValue, _
	Z_TranslationSpringModulus As Double _
) As BoundaryConditions
Visual C++ 
public:
BoundaryConditions^ NewAreaBoundaryConditions(
	Reference^ reference, 
	TranslationRotationValue X_Translation, 
	double X_TranslationSpringModulus, 
	TranslationRotationValue Y_Translation, 
	double Y_TranslationSpringModulus, 
	TranslationRotationValue Z_Translation, 
	double Z_TranslationSpringModulus
)

Parameters

reference
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Reference
The Geometry reference obtained from a Wall, Slab or Slab Foundation.
X_Translation
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure TranslationRotationValue
A value indicating the X axis translation option.
X_TranslationSpringModulus
Type: System Double
Translation Spring Modulus for X axis. Ignored if X_Translation is not "Spring".
Y_Translation
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure TranslationRotationValue
A value indicating the Y axis translation option.
Y_TranslationSpringModulus
Type: System Double
Translation Spring Modulus for Y axis. Ignored if Y_Translation is not "Spring".
Z_Translation
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure TranslationRotationValue
A value indicating the Z axis translation option.
Z_TranslationSpringModulus
Type: System Double
Translation Spring Modulus for Z axis. Ignored if Z_Translation is not "Spring".

Return Value

If successful, NewAreaBoundaryConditions returns an object for the newly created BoundaryConditions with the BoundaryType = 2 - "Area". a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) is returned if the operation fails.

Remarks

This method will only function with the Autodesk Revit Structure application.
