Parameters
- document Document
- A valid Revit document that is currently modifiable (i.e. with an open transaction).
- viewId ElementId
- Id of the graphic view in which the note is to be created.
- position XYZ
- A model position of the new note.
Note that the position's relation to the text's bounding box depends on the requested text alignment (set via the Options argument). It will be the box' top-left corner for a left-aligned text, the top-right corner for a right-aligned text, and middle-top point if the text is to be centered.
- width Double
- Width [ft] of the text in paper space (i.e. as it is measured when printed.) If a line of text is longer than the given specified Width, the text will be automatically wrapped. If a a zero Width is supplied then this method will create an unwrapped text note element.
- text String
- Text to populate the text note with.
- options TextNoteOptions
- Options to control behavior and appearance of the text note.
Return Value
TextNoteThe newly created text note.
