Syntax

C#
`public bool CheckGroundPlane( ElementId groundPlaneId )`

Visual Basic
`Public Function CheckGroundPlane ( _ groundPlaneId As ElementId _ ) As Boolean`

Visual C++
`public: bool CheckGroundPlane( ElementId^ groundPlaneId )`

groundPlaneId: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBElementId
The element id to be checked to confirm that it is suitable to be a ground plane (i.e., that it is a level) or that it is invalidElementId. Setting ground plane with invalidElementId will lead to the ground plane being "reset".

True if the input element is a level or invalidElementId, false otherwise.
