	document As Document, _
	viewId As ElementId, _
	boundaries As IList(Of CurveLoop) _
) As FilledRegion
Visual C++

	Document^ document, 
	ElementId^ viewId, 
	IList<CurveLoop^>^ boundaries
)

Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBDocument
The document in which to create the masking region.
viewId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBElementId
The view Id.
boundaries
Type: System.Collections.GenericIListCurveLoop
The boundaries.

Return Value

The newly created masking region.

Remarks

View-specific masking regions can be created in models and 2d families. The line style of the boundaries will be set to thin lines by default.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentException The document is a 3d model family. -or- Details can't be drawn in the view. -or- Masking regions and Filled regions can't be created in this document or view. -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 view's detail sketch plane; or input curves contain at least one helical curve. -or- Thrown if the viewId is invalid, or the view does not support the detail items creation, or if the boundaries are empty, open, or self-intersecting.
