Syntax

C#
`public bool IsValidShape( IList<GeometryObject> shape, DirectShapeTargetViewType viewType )`

Visual Basic
`Public Function IsValidShape ( _ shape As IList(Of GeometryObject), _ viewType As DirectShapeTargetViewType _ ) As Boolean`

Visual C++
`public: bool IsValidShape( IList<GeometryObject^>^ shape, DirectShapeTargetViewType viewType )`

shape: Type: System.Collections.Generic IList GeometryObject
Shape of this object expressed as a collection of GeometryObjects. For viewType = DirectShapeTargetViewType::Default, the supported types of GeometryObjects are: Solid, Mesh, GeometryInstance, Point, Curve and PolyLine. For viewType = DirectShapeTargetViewType::Plan, the supported types of GeometryObjects are: Point and Curve.

viewType: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB DirectShapeTargetViewType
The view type this shape is intended for.

True if the supplied shape passes the validation criteria.
