Syntax

C#
public static BeamSystem Create(
	Document document,
	IList<Curve> profile,
	SketchPlane sketchPlane,
	XYZ direction,
	bool is3d
)
Visual Basic
Public Shared Function Create ( _
	document As Document, _
	profile As IList(Of Curve), _
	sketchPlane As SketchPlane, _
	direction As XYZ, _
	is3d As Boolean _
) As BeamSystem
Visual C++
public:
static BeamSystem^ Create(
	Document^ document, 
	IList<Curve^>^ profile, 
	SketchPlane^ sketchPlane, 
	XYZ^ direction, 
	bool is3d
)

Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBDocument
The document in which the new BeamSystem is created.
profile
Type: System.Collections.GenericIListCurve
The profile of the BeamSystem.
sketchPlane
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBSketchPlane
The work-plane for the BeamSystem.
direction
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBXYZ
The direction is the direction of the BeamSystem.
is3d
Type: SystemBoolean
Whether the BeamSystem is 3D. If the BeamSystem is 3D, the sketchPlane must be a level, otherwise an exception will be thrown.

Return Value

If successful, a new BeamSystem object will be returned.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentException SketchPlane is not valid for BeamSystem creation. -or- The input profile contains at least one helical curve and is not supported for this operation. -or- The profile curves must be in the sketch plane.
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsInvalidOperationException The BeamSystem is 3D, but the SketchPlane is not a level.
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.
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsModificationOutsideTransactionException The document has no open transaction.
