Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBDocument
The document to be modified.
points
Type: System.Collections.GenericIListXYZ
A collection of points. The points represent an enclosed area in the XY plane.
facets
Type: System.Collections.GenericIListPolymeshFacet
Triangle facets composing a polygon mesh. Every facet contains 3 integers representing vertex indices.

Return Value

The new topography surface.

Remarks

The document will be regenerated during the creation of this topography surface element. The topography surface created by facet cannot modify its triangle points and facets.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentException document is not a project document. -or- There are invalid facets. Facets with more than two points with same x, y are not allowed. -or- There is(are) reference gap(s) between input arguments: points and facets.
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsModificationForbiddenException 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.
