Since: 2012

Syntax

C#
`public static void RotateElement( Document document, ElementId elementToRotate, Line axis, double angle )`

Visual Basic
`Public Shared Sub RotateElement ( _ document As Document, _ elementToRotate As ElementId, _ axis As Line, _ angle As Double _ )`

Visual C++
`public: static void RotateElement( Document^ document, ElementId^ elementToRotate, Line^ axis, double angle )`

Parameters

document: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Document
The document that owns the elements.

elementToRotate: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB ElementId
The element to rotate.

axis: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Line
The axis of rotation.

angle: Type: System Double
The angle of rotation in radians.

Examples

Copy C#

public void RotateColumn(Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document document, Autodesk.Revit.DB.Element element)
{
    XYZ point1 = new XYZ(10, 20, 0);
    XYZ point2 = new XYZ(10, 20, 30);
    Line axis = Line.CreateBound(point1, point2);
    ElementTransformUtils.RotateElement(document, element.Id, axis, Math.PI / 3.0);
}

Copy VB.NET

Public Sub RotateColumn(document As Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document, element As Autodesk.Revit.DB.Element)
    Dim point1 As New XYZ(10, 20, 0)
    Dim point2 As New XYZ(10, 20, 30)
    Dim axis As Line = Line.CreateBound(point1, point2)
    ElementTransformUtils.RotateElement(document, element.Id, axis, Math.PI / 3.0)
End Sub
