Create Method


Plane Create Method

Creates a Plane object defined by a local frame of reference.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)
Syntax
public static Plane Create(
	Frame frameOfReference
)

Parameters

frameOfReference Frame
frameOfReference is an orthonormal frame that defines a local coordinate system for the plane being constructed.
  • Frame.Origin is a point on plane.
  • Frame.BasisZ defines the plane's normal, while Frame.BasisX and Frame.BasisY are orthogonal to the normal.
  • The frame may be either left-handed or right-handed (see Frame.IsRightHanded).

Return Value

Plane
Exceptions
Exception Condition
ArgumentException This Frame object may not be used as a local frame of reference.
ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
Remarks
The parametric equation of the plane is S(u, v) = Frame.Origin + u*Frame.BasisX + v*Frame.BasisY. Frame.BasisZ defines the plane's normal.
