CreateMeshByExtrusion Method

Tessellated Shape Builder Create Mesh By Extrusion Method

Builds a mesh by extruding curve loop(s) along extrusion distance.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)
Syntax 
public static MeshFromGeometryOperationResult CreateMeshByExtrusion(
	IList<CurveLoop> profileLoops,
	XYZ extrusionDirection,
	double extrusionDistance,
	ElementId materialId
)

Parameters

profileLoops IList CurveLoop
The profile loops to be extruded. The loops will not be modified.
extrusionDirection XYZ
Direction of extrusion. The length of this vector is ignored.
extrusionDistance Double
The positive distance by which the loops are extruded in the direction of the input extrusionDir.
materialId ElementId
Material which should be used by a constructed mesh.

Return Value

MeshFromGeometryOperationResult
Returns a mesh, which was constructed, and some additional information.
Exceptions
Exception Condition
ArgumentException The input value cannot be used as thickness for an extrusion, or blend, or wall layer, or similar geometric construct.
ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentOutOfRangeException extrusionDirection has zero length.
Remarks
This function supports creation of a mesh given a collection of continuous curve loops, which are processed independently from each other. Loops with gaps or with curves with wrong flips will be split before processing.
