Creates a new ViewSheet.

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

Syntax

public static ViewSheet Create(
	Document document,
	ElementId titleBlockTypeId
)

Public Shared Function Create ( 
	document As Document,
	titleBlockTypeId As ElementId
) As ViewSheet

public:
static ViewSheet^ Create(
	Document^ document, 
	ElementId^ titleBlockTypeId
)

static member Create : 
        document : Document * 
        titleBlockTypeId : ElementId -> ViewSheet

Parameters

document Document: The document to which the ViewSheet will be added.
titleBlockTypeId ElementId: The type id of the TitleBlock type which will be used by the new ViewSheet. For no TitleBlock, pass invalid element ID.

Return Value

ViewSheet
The new ViewSheet.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The ElementId titleBlockTypeId does not correspond to a TitleBlock type. -or- document is not a project document.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
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.
