Creates a constraint for the start handle of the rebar. This constraint will be set preferred after the API execution is finished successfully.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 24.0.0.0 (24.0.0.0)
Since: 2018

Syntax

C#
`public bool CreateStartConstraint( IList<Reference> targetReferences, bool isConstraintToCover, double offsetValue )`

Visual Basic
`Public Function CreateStartConstraint ( _ targetReferences As IList(Of Reference), _ isConstraintToCover As Boolean, _ offsetValue As Double _ ) As Boolean`

Visual C++
`public: bool CreateStartConstraint( IList<Reference^>^ targetReferences, bool isConstraintToCover, double offsetValue )`

Parameters

targetReferences: Type: System.Collections.GenericIListReference
The references to which the rebar handle will be constrained. Will throw exception if it's empty or if it's anything but Face(s) from a structural that can host rebar.

isConstraintToCover: Type: SystemBoolean
If true the RebarConstraintType will be set to ToCover, otherwise RebarConstraintType will be set to FixedDistanceToHostFace.

offsetValue: Type: SystemDouble
The distance from references to the rebar handle.

Return Value

Returns true if a start constraint can be created with the given references, false otherwise. The reference should be faces from structurals that can host rebar.
