Syntax

public Transform Transform { get; set; }

Public Property Transform As Transform
	Get
	Set

public:
property Transform^ Transform {
	Transform^ get ();
	void set (Transform^ value);
}

member Transform : Transform with get, set

Property Value

Transform

Remarks

The transform must always be right-handed and orthonormal.

Example

C++

private void RotateBoundingBox(View3D view3d)
{
    if (!view3d.IsSectionBoxActive)
    {
        TaskDialog.Show("Revit","The section box for View3D isn't active.");
        return;
    }
    BoundingBoxXYZ box = view3d.GetSectionBox();

    // Create a rotation transform to apply to the section box 
    XYZ origin = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);
    XYZ axis = new XYZ(0, 0, 1);

    // Rotate 30 degrees
    Transform rotate = Transform.CreateRotationAtPoint(axis, Math.PI/6.0, origin);

    // Transform the View3D's section box with the rotation transform
    box.Transform = box.Transform.Multiply(rotate);

    // Set the section box back to the view (requires an open transaction)
    view3d.SetSectionBox(box);
}

Private Sub RotateBoundingBox(view3d As View3D)
    If Not view3d.IsSectionBoxActive Then
        TaskDialog.Show("Revit", "The section box for View3D isn't active.")
        Return
    End If
    Dim box As BoundingBoxXYZ = view3d.GetSectionBox()

    ' Create a rotation transform to apply to the section box 
    Dim origin As New XYZ(0, 0, 0)
    Dim axis As New XYZ(0, 0, 1)

    ' Rotate 30 degrees
    Dim rotate As Transform = Transform.CreateRotationAtPoint(axis, Math.PI / 6.0, origin)

    ' Transform the View3D's section box with the rotation transform
    box.Transform = box.Transform.Multiply(rotate)

    ' Set the section box back to the view (requires an open transaction)
    view3d.SetSectionBox(box)
End Sub
