Properties
Name Description
Public property Complete Report whether the shape definition is fully constrained.
(Inherited from RebarShapeDefinition )
Public property IsPlanar Reports whether the shape definition lies within a plane: false if a spiral, true in all other cases.
(Inherited from RebarShapeDefinition )
Public property IsValidObject Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
(Inherited from RebarShapeDefinition )
Public property MajorSegmentIndex Index of a segment that can be considered the most important. Revit attempts to preserve the orientation of this segment when a Rebar instance changes its RebarShape to one with a different number of segments.
Public property NumberOfSegments The number of straight segments in this shape.
Public property NumberOfVertices The number of vertices in this shape, always equal to NumberOfSegments + 1.

Methods
Name Description
Public method AddBendDefaultRadius Specify a default-radius bend.
Public method AddBendVariableRadius Specify a variable-radius bend.
Public method AddConstraintParallelToSegment Constrain the length of a segment by parameterizing its length.
Public method AddConstraintToSegment Add a constraint that helps determine the length of a segment.
Public method AddFormulaParameter Add a formula-driven parameter to the shape definition.
(Inherited from RebarShapeDefinition )
Public method AddListeningDimensionBendToBend Specify a dimension between two bends, measured by a read-only parameter.
Public method AddListeningDimensionSegmentToBend Specify a dimension perpendicular to one fixed-direction segment, referring to that segment and some other bend in the shape, measured by a read-only parameter.
Public method AddListeningDimensionSegmentToSegment Specify a dimension perpendicular to two fixed-direction segments, measured by a read-only parameter.
Public method AddParameter Add a parameter to the shape definition.
(Inherited from RebarShapeDefinition )
Public method CheckDefaultParameterValues Check that the shape can be solved with the default parameter values.
(Inherited from RebarShapeDefinition )
Public method Dispose
(Inherited from RebarShapeDefinition )
Public method Equals Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object )
Public method GetHashCode Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object )
Public method GetParameterDefaultValue Return the parameter's default value as stored in the definition.
(Inherited from RebarShapeDefinition )
Public method GetParameterFormula Return the parameter's formula, if one is associated with it.
(Inherited from RebarShapeDefinition )
Public method GetParameters Return the Ids of the shared parameters in the Definition.
(Inherited from RebarShapeDefinition )
Public method GetSegment Return a reference to one of the segments in the definition.
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object )
Public method GetVertex Return a reference to one of the vertices in the definition.
Public method HasParameter Whether the definition stores the parameter.
(Inherited from RebarShapeDefinition )
Public method RemoveParameter Remove the parameter from the definition.
(Inherited from RebarShapeDefinition )
Public method RemoveParameterFromSegment Remove constraints from a segment.
Public method SetParameterDefaultValue Change the parameter's value as stored in the definition.
(Inherited from RebarShapeDefinition )
Public method SetParameterFormula Associate a formula with the parameter.
(Inherited from RebarShapeDefinition )
Public method SetSegmentAs180DegreeBend(Int32) Indicates that a segment is a "virtual" segment introduced to describe a 180-degree bend. The radius of the bend will be taken from the Bar Type.
Public method SetSegmentAs180DegreeBend(Int32, ElementId, Boolean) Indicate that a segment is a "virtual" segment introduced to describe a 180-degree bend. The radius of the bend will be driven by radiusParam.
Public method SetSegmentFixedDirection Fix the direction of a segment.
Public method SetSegmentVariableDirection Remove the fixed direction from a segment.
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object.
(Inherited from Object )

Remarks

The segments are represented by RebarShapeSegment objects. The segments are numbered starting with 0, and they have a direction; so the beginning of the shape is end 0 of segment 0, and the end of the shape is end 1 of segment (NumberOfSegments-1).

The ends and junctions are represented by RebarShapeVertex objects. The number of vertices is always one greater than the number of segments. The first vertex represents the start of the shape; the last vertex represents the end of the shape; and the intermediate vertices represent the bends between segments.
