public Room NewRoom(
	Room room,
	PlanCircuit circuit
)

Room
If successful the room is returned, otherwise .

Example 
Room InsertNewRoomInPlanCircuit(Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document document, Level level, Phase newConstructionPhase)
{
    // create room using Phase
    Room newScheduleRoom = document.Create.NewRoom(newConstructionPhase);

    // set the Room Number and Name
    string newRoomNumber = "101";
    string newRoomName = "Class Room 1";
    newScheduleRoom.Name = newRoomName;
    newScheduleRoom.Number = newRoomNumber;

    // Get a PlanCircuit
    PlanCircuit planCircuit = null;
    // first get the plan topology for given level
    PlanTopology planTopology = document.get_PlanTopology(level);

    // Iterate circuits in this plan topology
    foreach (PlanCircuit circuit in planTopology.Circuits)
    {
        // get the first circuit we find
        if (null != circuit)
        {
            planCircuit = circuit;
            break;
        }
    }

    Room newRoom2 = null;
    if (null != planCircuit)
    {
        using (Transaction transaction = new Transaction(document, "Create Room"))
        {
           if (transaction.Start() == TransactionStatus.Started)
           {
               // The input room must exist only in the room schedule, 
               // meaning that it does not display in any plan view.
               newRoom2 = document.Create.NewRoom(newScheduleRoom, planCircuit);
               // a model room with the same name and number is created in the 
               // view where the PlanCircuit is located
               if (null != newRoom2)
               {
                   // Give the user some information
                   TaskDialog.Show("Revit", "Room placed in Plan Circuit successfully.");
               }
               transaction.Commit();
           }
        }
    }
