`public static PointLoad Create( Document document, ElementId hostElemId, AnalyticalElementSelector selector, XYZ forceVector, XYZ momentVector, PointLoadType symbol )`

Visual Basic

Visual Basic
`Public Shared Function Create ( _ document As Document, _ hostElemId As ElementId, _ selector As AnalyticalElementSelector, _ forceVector As XYZ, _ momentVector As XYZ, _ symbol As PointLoadType _ ) As PointLoad`

Public Shared Function Create ( _
	document As Document, _
	hostElemId As ElementId, _
	selector As AnalyticalElementSelector, _
	forceVector As XYZ, _
	momentVector As XYZ, _
	symbol As PointLoadType _
) As PointLoad

Visual C++
`public: static PointLoad^ Create( Document^ document, ElementId^ hostElemId, AnalyticalElementSelector selector, XYZ^ forceVector, XYZ^ momentVector, PointLoadType^ symbol )`

Parameters

document: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBDocument
Document to which new point load will be added.

hostElemId: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBElementId
The AnalyticalMember host element for the point Load.

selector: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.StructureAnalyticalElementSelector
The start or end point of the Analytical Member element.

forceVector: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBXYZ
The applied 3d force vector.

momentVector: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBXYZ
The applied 3d moment vector.

symbol: Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.StructurePointLoadType
The symbol of the PointLoad. Set a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) to use default type.

Return Value

If successful, returns the newly created PointLoad, a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) otherwise.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentException	The element hostElemId does not exist in the document -or- hostElemId is not permitted for this type of load.
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentOutOfRangeException	A value passed for an enumeration argument is not a member of that enumeration
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentsInconsistentException	Thrown when force and moment vectors are equal zero.
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsInvalidOperationException	Thrown if type could not be set for newly created point load.
