The base elevation of the stairs run.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Architecture
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)
Syntax
public double BaseElevation { get; set; }

Property Value

Double
Exceptions
Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException When setting this property: The given value for baseElevation must be no more than 30000 feet in absolute value. -or- When setting this property: The baseElevation doesn't meet the restriction that bottom of run should not be lower than bottom of stairs. -or- When setting this property: The baseElevation doesn't meet the minimal height restriction of the stairs run. -or- When setting this property: The baseElevation impacts the top elevation which is less than extension below base.
Remarks
The base elevation has following restrictions:
  • The base elevation is relative to the base elevation of the stairs to which the stairs run belongs.
  • When setting this property the value will be rounded automatically to a multiple of the riser height.
  • When setting this property for common run, the run's height will change according to the new base/top elevation. So the value must be less than the top elevation to keep run valid.
  • When setting this property for sketched run, whose height is fixed, the run's top elevation will be adjusted to keep the same run height.
