CreateRectangle Method


Curve By Points Utils Create Rectangle Method

Creates rectangle on face or sketchplane for two given diagonal points.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)
Syntax
public static void CreateRectangle(
	Document document,
	ReferencePoint startPoint,
	ReferencePoint endPoint,
	CurveProjectionType projectionType,
	bool boundaryReferenceLines,
	bool boundaryCurvesFollowSurface,
	out IList<ElementId> createdCurvesIds,
	out IList<ElementId> createdCornersIds
)

Parameters

document Document
The Document.
startPoint ReferencePoint
First diagonal point of rectangle.
endPoint ReferencePoint
Second diagonal point of rectangle.
projectionType CurveProjectionType
Projection type of rectangle's boundary curves. If the rectangle input points are Face hosted, and CurveProjectionType::ParallelToLevel is requested, and the Face normal at the location of the start point is at a less than 45 degree angle with the level planes, then the projectionType will be set to FromTopDown, even if ParallelToLevel was requested.
boundaryReferenceLines Boolean
True if rectangle's boundary curves should be reference lines, false otherwise.
boundaryCurvesFollowSurface Boolean
True if rectangle's boundary curves should follow surface, false otherwise.
createdCurvesIds IList ElementId
Created rectangle's boundary curves ids.
createdCornersIds IList ElementId
Ids of two newly created corner points.
Exceptions
Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentOutOfRangeException Unexpected projection type. -or- A value passed for an enumeration argument is not a member of that enumeration
InvalidOperationException Unable to create rectangle.
Remarks
This array contains the ElementIds of the two additional corner points that are created to complete the rectangle.
