Plane Create By Three Points Method

Creates a Plane object passing through three points supplied as arguments.

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

Syntax

public static Plane CreateByThreePoints(
	XYZ point1,
	XYZ point2,
	XYZ point3
)

Public Shared Function CreateByThreePoints ( 
	point1 As XYZ,
	point2 As XYZ,
	point3 As XYZ
) As Plane

public:
static Plane^ CreateByThreePoints(
	XYZ^ point1, 
	XYZ^ point2, 
	XYZ^ point3
)

static member CreateByThreePoints : 
        point1 : XYZ * 
        point2 : XYZ * 
        point3 : XYZ -> Plane

Parameters

point1 XYZ: First of the three points that define a unique plane. The created Plane object will pass through these points.
point2 XYZ: Second of the three points that define a unique plane.
point3 XYZ: Third of the three points that define a unique plane.

Return Value

Plane

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The input point lies outside of Revit design limits.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentsInconsistentException	Throws if the input points do not define a unique plane. This is typically caused by points being too close to each other, or all three points being on or close to a straight line.

Remarks

The points supplied as arguments must fully define a plane: they may not lie on a straight line or be too close to each other. The points must lie within the Revit design limits. This function does not guarantee a specific parameterization of the created Plane. Use Plane.Create(Frame) to enforce a specific parameterization of the created Plane object. All three points are expected to lie within the Revit design limits IsWithinLengthLimits(XYZ) .
