Create Method (Document, IList(Curve), ElementId, ElementId, Boolean, XYZ)

Wall Create(Document, IList Curve , Element Id, Element Id, Boolean, XYZ) Method

Creates a non rectangular profile wall within the project using the specified wall type and normal vector.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)
Syntax 
public static Wall Create(
	Document document,
	IList<Curve> profile,
	ElementId wallTypeId,
	ElementId levelId,
	bool structural,
	XYZ normal
)

Parameters

document Document
The document in which the new wall is created.
profile IList Curve
An array of planar curves that represent the vertical profile of the wall.
wallTypeId ElementId
Id of the wall type to be used by the new wall instead of the default type.
levelId ElementId
Id of the level on which the wall is to be placed.
structural Boolean
If set, specifies that the wall is structural in nature.
normal XYZ
A vector that must be perpendicular to the profile which dictates which side of the wall is considered to be inside and outside.

Return Value

Wall
If successful a new wall object within the project.
Exceptions
Exception Condition
ArgumentException The input profile contains at least one helical curve and is not supported for this operation.
ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
InvalidOperationException Failed to create the wall.
ModificationForbiddenException The document is in failure mode: an operation has failed, and Revit requires the user to either cancel the operation or fix the problem (usually by deleting certain elements). -or- The document is being loaded, or is in the midst of another sensitive process.
ModificationOutsideTransactionException The document has no open transaction.
Example 
public Wall CreateWallUsingProfile(Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document document, Level level, WallType wallType)
{
    // Build a wall profile for the wall creation
    XYZ first = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);
    XYZ second = new XYZ(20, 0, 0);
    XYZ third = new XYZ(20, 0, 15);
    XYZ fourth = new XYZ(0, 0, 15);
    IList<Curve> profile = new List<Curve>();

    // Get application creation object
    Autodesk.Revit.Creation.Application appCreation = document.Application.Create;

    profile.Add(Line.CreateBound(first, second));
    profile.Add(Line.CreateBound(second, third));
    profile.Add(Line.CreateBound(third, fourth));
    profile.Add(Line.CreateBound(fourth, first));

    XYZ normal = new XYZ(0, 1, 0);

    // Create a wall
    return Wall.Create(document, profile, wallType.Id, level.Id, true, normal);
}
