Property Value

Double
Exceptions
Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException When setting this property: The given value for topElevation must be no more than 30000 feet in absolute value. -or- When setting this property: The topElevation doesn't meet the minimal height restriction of the stairs run. -or- When setting this property: The topElevation is less than the extension below base of the stairs run.
InvalidOperationException When setting this property: The stairs run is sketched so the data being set is not applicable.
Remarks
The top elevation has following restrictions:
  • The top 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 greater than base elevation to keep run valid.
  • When setting this property for sketched run, whose height is fixed, the run's base elevation will be adjusted to keep the same run height.
