Syntax
public static Arc Create(
	XYZ end0,
	XYZ end1,
	XYZ pointOnArc
)

Parameters

end0 XYZ
The start point of the arc.
end1 XYZ
The end point of the arc.
pointOnArc XYZ
A point on the arc.

Return Value

Arc
The new arc.
Exceptions
Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
ArgumentsInconsistentException The vectors end0 and end1 are coincident. -or- The vectors end0 and pointOnArc are coincident. -or- The vectors end1 and pointOnArc are coincident. -or- Cannot create an arc. -or- Curve length is too small for Revit's tolerance (as identified by Application.ShortCurveTolerance).
Example
// Create a new arc using two ends and a point on the curve
XYZ end0 = new XYZ(1, 0, 0);    // start point of the arc
XYZ end1 = new XYZ(10, 10, 10); // end point of the arc
XYZ pointOnCurve = new XYZ(10, 0, 0);   // point along arc

Arc arc = Arc.Create(end0, end1, pointOnCurve);
