Item Factory Base New Model Curve Method

Creates a new model line element.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.Creation
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)

Syntax

public ModelCurve NewModelCurve(
	Curve geometryCurve,
	SketchPlane sketchPlane
)

Public Function NewModelCurve ( 
	geometryCurve As Curve,
	sketchPlane As SketchPlane
) As ModelCurve

public:
ModelCurve^ NewModelCurve(
	Curve^ geometryCurve, 
	SketchPlane^ sketchPlane
)

member NewModelCurve : 
        geometryCurve : Curve * 
        sketchPlane : SketchPlane -> ModelCurve

Parameters

geometryCurve Curve: The internal geometry curve for model line.
sketchPlane SketchPlane: The sketch plane this new model line resides in.

Return Value

ModelCurve
If successful a new model line element. Otherwise .

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	Thrown when curve is not in the plane

Remarks

Different type of model curve element will be returned according to the type of geometry curve.

Example

C++

// get handle to application from document
Autodesk.Revit.ApplicationServices.Application application = document.Application;

// Create a geometry line in Revit application
XYZ startPoint = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);
XYZ endPoint = new XYZ(10, 10, 0);
Line geomLine = Line.CreateBound(startPoint, endPoint);

// Create a geometry arc in Revit application
XYZ end0 = new XYZ(1, 0, 0);
XYZ end1 = new XYZ(10, 10, 10);
XYZ pointOnCurve = new XYZ(10, 0, 0);
Arc geomArc = Arc.Create(end0, end1, pointOnCurve);

// Create a geometry plane in Revit application
XYZ origin = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);
XYZ normal = new XYZ(1, 1, 0);
Plane geomPlane = Plane.CreateByNormalAndOrigin(normal, origin);

// Create a sketch plane in current document
SketchPlane sketch = SketchPlane.Create(document, geomPlane);

// Create a ModelLine element using the created geometry line and sketch plane
ModelLine line = document.Create.NewModelCurve(geomLine, sketch) as ModelLine;

// Create a ModelArc element using the created geometry arc and sketch plane
ModelArc arc = document.Create.NewModelCurve(geomArc, sketch) as ModelArc;

   ' get handle to application from document
   Dim application As Autodesk.Revit.ApplicationServices.Application = document.Application

   ' Create a geometry line in Revit application
   Dim startPoint As New XYZ(0, 0, 0)
   Dim endPoint As New XYZ(10, 10, 0)
   Dim geomLine As Line = Line.CreateBound(startPoint, endPoint)

   ' Create a geometry arc in Revit application
   Dim end0 As New XYZ(1, 0, 0)
   Dim end1 As New XYZ(10, 10, 10)
   Dim pointOnCurve As New XYZ(10, 0, 0)
   Dim geomArc As Arc = Arc.Create(end0, end1, pointOnCurve)

   ' Create a geometry plane in Revit application
   Dim origin As New XYZ(0, 0, 0)
   Dim normal As New XYZ(1, 1, 0)
Dim geomPlane As Plane = Plane.CreateByNormalAndOrigin(normal, origin)

   ' Create a sketch plane in current document
   Dim sketch As SketchPlane = SketchPlane.Create(document, geomPlane)

   ' Create a ModelLine element using the created geometry line and sketch plane
   Dim line__1 As ModelLine = TryCast(document.Create.NewModelCurve(geomLine, sketch), ModelLine)

   ' Create a ModelArc element using the created geometry arc and sketch plane
   Dim arc__2 As ModelArc = TryCast(document.Create.NewModelCurve(geomArc, sketch), ModelArc)
