Visual C++
`public: static Wall^ Create( Document^ document, Curve^ curve, ElementId^ wallTypeId, ElementId^ levelId, double height, double offset, bool flip, bool structural )`

Parameters

document: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBDocument
The document in which the new wall is created.

curve: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBCurve
A curve representing the base line of the wall.

wallTypeId: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBElementId
Id of the wall type to be used by the new wall instead of the default type.

levelId: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBElementId
Id of the level on which the wall is to be placed.

height: Type: SystemDouble
The height of the wall other than the default height.

offset: Type: SystemDouble
Modifies the wall's Base Offset parameter to determine its vertical placement.

flip: Type: SystemBoolean
Change which side of the wall is considered to be the inside and outside of the wall.

structural: Type: SystemBoolean
If set, specifies that the wall is structural in nature.

Return Value

If successful a new wall object within the project.

Examples

CopyC#

public Wall CreateWallUsingCurve2(Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document document, Level level, WallType wallType)
{
    // Build a location line for the wall creation
    XYZ start = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);
    XYZ end = new XYZ(10, 10, 0);
    Line geomLine = Line.CreateBound(start, end);

    // Determine the other parameters
    double height = 15;
    double offset = 3;

    // Create a wall using the location line and wall type
    return Wall.Create(document, geomLine, wallType.Id, level.Id, height, offset, true, true);
}

CopyVB.NET

    ' Build a location line for the wall creation
    Dim start As New XYZ(0, 0, 0)
    Dim [end] As New XYZ(10, 10, 0)
    Dim geomLine As Line = Line.CreateBound(start, [end])

    ' Determine the other parameters
    Dim height As Double = 15
    Dim offset As Double = 3

    ' Create a wall using the location line and wall type
    Return Wall.Create(document, geomLine, wallType.Id, level.Id, height, offset, _
        True, True)

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentException	The curve argument is not valid for wall creation.
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentOutOfRangeException	The given value for height must be greater than 0 and no more than 30000 feet. -or- The given value for offset must be no more than 30000 feet in absolute value.
