Parameters

aDoc: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBDocument
The document.

hostElement: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBElement
The element that will host the FabricArea. The host can be a Structural Floor, Structural Wall, Structural Slab, or a Part created from a structural layer belonging to one of those element types.

curveLoops: Type: System.Collections.GenericIListCurveLoop
An array of curves that will define the outline of the FabricArea. This includes curves defining openings in the interior of the area.

majorDirection: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBXYZ
A vector to define the major direction of the FabricArea.

majorDirectionOrigin: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBXYZ
An origin point of the major direction line

fabricAreaTypeId: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBElementId
The id of the FabricAreaType.

fabricSheetTypeId: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBElementId
The id of the FabricSheetType.

Return Value

The newly created FabricArea.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentException	Not all curveLoops in curveLoops are closed and continuous. -or- Not all curveLoops in curveLoops are in the same plane. -or- curveLoops should only contain lines or arcs. -or- The element hostElement was not found in the given document. -or- the host Element is not a valid host for Area Reinforcement, Path Reinforcement, Fabric Area or Fabric Sheet. -or- fabricAreaTypeId should refer to an FabricAreaType element. -or- fabricSheetTypeId should refer to an FabricSheetType element.
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentOutOfRangeException	majorDirection has zero length.
