Create Method

Creates a new energy analysis detailed model.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Analysis
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 22.0.0.0 (22.1.0.0)
Since: 2012

Syntax

C# 
public static EnergyAnalysisDetailModel Create(
	Document document,
	EnergyAnalysisDetailModelOptions options
)
Visual Basic 
Public Shared Function Create ( _
	document As Document, _
	options As EnergyAnalysisDetailModelOptions _
) As EnergyAnalysisDetailModel
Visual C++ 
public:
static EnergyAnalysisDetailModel^ Create(
	Document^ document, 
	EnergyAnalysisDetailModelOptions^ options
)

Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Document
The document that contains the physical model of the building.
options
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Analysis EnergyAnalysisDetailModelOptions
The options to control the calculation rules.

Return Value

The created model instance.

Remarks

The generated energy model is always returned in world coordinates. The method TransformModel() transforms all surfaces in the model according to ground plane, shared coordinates and true north. The EnergyModelType in argument EnergyAnalysisDetailModelOptions indicates whether the generated energy model is based on rooms/spaces or building elements. The default value is EnergyModelType.SpatialElement.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentException An EnergyAnalysisDetailModel cannot be created if EnergyModelType.BuildingElement is input and AnalysisMode.ConceptualMasses is set in EnergyDataSettings (these values are incompatible). -or- Throws if there are no valid spatial bounding elements, or no valid spatial elements in the document.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions InvalidOperationException Failed to create the energy analysis detail model.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions OperationCanceledException Throws if user aborted the energy analysis detail model creation.
