Parameters

reference Reference: The Geometry reference obtained from a Wall, Slab or Slab Foundation.
X_Translation TranslationRotationValue: A value indicating the X axis translation option.
X_TranslationSpringModulus Double: Translation Spring Modulus for X axis. Ignored if X_Translation is not "Spring".
Y_Translation TranslationRotationValue: A value indicating the Y axis translation option.
Y_TranslationSpringModulus Double: Translation Spring Modulus for Y axis. Ignored if Y_Translation is not "Spring".
Z_Translation TranslationRotationValue: A value indicating the Z axis translation option.
Z_TranslationSpringModulus Double: Translation Spring Modulus for Z axis. Ignored if Z_Translation is not "Spring".

Return Value

BoundaryConditions
If successful, NewAreaBoundaryConditions returns an object for the newly created BoundaryConditions with the BoundaryType = 2 - "Area". is returned if the operation fails.

Remarks

This method will only function with the Autodesk Revit Structure application.
