SetDatumExtentType Method

Sets whether the curve representing the datum plane is displayed according to its 3d extents, or else according to a view specific setting.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 22.0.0.0 (22.1.0.0)
Since: 2016

Syntax

C# 
public void SetDatumExtentType(
	DatumEnds datumEnd,
	View view,
	DatumExtentType extentMode
)
Visual Basic 
Public Sub SetDatumExtentType ( _
	datumEnd As DatumEnds, _
	view As View, _
	extentMode As DatumExtentType _
)
Visual C++ 
public:
void SetDatumExtentType(
	DatumEnds datumEnd, 
	View^ view, 
	DatumExtentType extentMode
)

Parameters

datumEnd
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB DatumEnds
Specifies one end of the curve representing the datum plane in the view.
view
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB View
The view in which to set the datum extent settings.
extentMode
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB DatumExtentType
The DatumExtentType.

Remarks

In a particular view, the datum plane is represented by a curve and the two ends of the curve may have different DatumExtentTypes in that view. If the value is changed from DatumExtentType::Model to DatumExtentType::ViewSpecific, then the view specific extents will be identical to the model extent until modified.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentException The datum plane cannot be visible in the view.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentOutOfRangeException A value passed for an enumeration argument is not a member of that enumeration
