Public Shared Function Create ( _
	document As Document, _

Visual C++
`public: static Ceiling^ Create( Document^ document, IList<CurveLoop^>^ curveLoops, ElementId^ ceilingTypeId, ElementId^ levelId, Line^ slopeArrow, double slope )`

Parameters

document: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Document
The document in which the new ceiling is created.

curveLoops: Type: System.Collections.Generic IList CurveLoop
An array of planar curve loops that represent the profile of the ceiling.

ceilingTypeId: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB ElementId
Id of the ceiling type to be used by the new ceiling. If InvalidElementId is passed, the default type will be used.

levelId: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB ElementId
Id of the level on which the ceiling is to be placed.

slopeArrow: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Line
A line used to control the slope angle of the Ceiling. It must be horizontal.

slope: Type: System Double
The slope angle.

Return Value

If successful a new ceiling object within the project.

Remarks

To validate curve loop profile use BoundaryValidation .

   profile.Append(Line.CreateBound(third, fourth));

   Line slopeArrow = Line.CreateBound(new XYZ(10, 10, 0), new XYZ(11, 10, 0));
   return Ceiling.Create(document, new List<CurveLoop> { profile }, ElementId.InvalidElementId, level.Id, slopeArrow, Math.PI / 2);

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentException	The ElementId levelId is not a Level. -or- The ElementId ceilingTypeId does not correspond to a CeilingType. -or- The input curve loops cannot compose a valid boundary, that means: the "curveLoops" collection is empty; or some curve loops intersect with each other; or each curve loop is not closed individually; or each curve loop is not planar; or each curve loop is not in a plane parallel to the horizontal(XY) plane; or input curves contain at least one helical curve. -or- The slopeArrow must be a horizontal line. -or- Input curves build invalid sketch. -or- Failed to create curve elements.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions InvalidOperationException	Cannot generate a sketch. -or- Failed to create new element.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ModificationForbiddenException	The document is in failure mode: an operation has failed, and Revit requires the user to either cancel the operation or fix the problem (usually by deleting certain elements). -or- The document is being loaded, or is in the midst of another sensitive process.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ModificationOutsideTransactionException	The document has no open transaction.
