Create Method (Document, ElementId, XYZ, XYZ, XYZ, PointLoadType)

Point Load Create(Document, Element Id, XYZ, XYZ, XYZ, Point Load Type) Method

Creates a new custom hosted point load within the project using data at point.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)
Syntax 
public static PointLoad Create(
	Document document,
	ElementId hostElemId,
	XYZ point,
	XYZ forceVector,
	XYZ momentVector,
	PointLoadType symbol
)

Parameters

document Document
Document to which new point load will be added.
hostElemId ElementId
The AnalyticalElement host element for the point Load.
point XYZ
The position of point load, measured in decimal feet.
forceVector XYZ
The applied 3d force vector.
momentVector XYZ
The applied 3d moment vector.
symbol PointLoadType
The symbol of the PointLoad. Set to use default type.

Return Value

PointLoad
If successful, returns the newly created PointLoad, otherwise.
Exceptions
Exception Condition
ArgumentException hostElemId is not permitted for this type of load. -or- Thrown when work plane is not valid.
ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentsInconsistentException Thrown when force and moment vectors are equal zero.
InvalidOperationException Thrown if type could not be set for newly created point load.
Example 
Document document = commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument.Document;
UIDocument activeDoc = commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument;

//select object for adding a point load
Reference eRef = activeDoc.Selection.PickObject(ObjectType.Element, "Please select the analytical element");
ElementId selectedElementId = null;
if (eRef != null && eRef.ElementId != ElementId.InvalidElementId)
   selectedElementId = eRef.ElementId;

XYZ location = activeDoc.Selection.PickPoint("Point Load location");

using (Transaction transaction = new Transaction(document, "Create custom PointLoad"))
{
   transaction.Start();
   PointLoad pointLoad = null;

   if (PointLoad.IsPointInsideHostBoundaries(document, selectedElementId, location))
      pointLoad = PointLoad.Create(document, selectedElementId, location, new XYZ(1, 0, 0), new XYZ(1, 0, 0), null);

   transaction.Commit();
}
