View
|
Builds and verifies a view-specific shape representation that would typically be stored in a DirectShape object.
Currently limited to curve-based representations for plan and elevation views.

Syntax
The ViewShapeBuilder type exposes the following members.
Constructors
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
ViewShapeBuilder | Default constructor for an ViewShapeBuilder object. |
|
|
ViewShapeBuilder(DirectShapeTargetViewType) | A constructor for an ViewShapeBuilder object that takes a view type. It will infer the view normal from view type. View normal and view type are used to validate the geometry to be stored as a view-specific shape representation of a DirectShape object. |
Properties
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
IsValidObject |
Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
(Inherited from ShapeBuilder ) |
|
|
ViewNormal | Normal of the view that will display the shape being built. Must be set explicitly before adding any geometry. Must be a unit vector. This is used to validate incoming geometry - it must be orthogonal to the viewNormal. |
|
|
ViewType | View type where the view-specific shape currently being built will be used |
Methods
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
|
AddCurve | Add a curve to the GRep associated to this ViewShapeBuilder. |
|
|
Dispose |
(Inherited from ShapeBuilder ) |
|
|
Equals |
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object ) |
|
|
GetHashCode |
Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object ) |
|
|
GetType |
Gets the
Type
of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object ) |
|
|
Reset | Clears the accumulated geometry and resets other ViewShapeBuilder parameters to invalid values. |
|
|
ToString |
Returns a string that represents the current object.
(Inherited from Object ) |
|
|
ValidateCurve(Curve) | Validates curve to be added to the view-specific shape being constructed. Called by AddCurve() to validate input. Expects a valid view normal to be set prior to the call. |
|
ValidateCurve(Curve, DirectShapeTargetViewType) | Validates curve to be added to the view-specific shape being constructed. Called by AddCurve() to validate input. This function may be used to pre-validate the geometry being added to avoid AddCurve() throwing an InvalidArgumentException |
|
|
ValidateShape | Validates a shape represented as a collection of geometry objects for use as a view-specific shape. The objects are expected to be either points, curves or polylines. Curves are expected to be flat and lie in a plane perpendicular to view normal as defined by view type. |
|
|
ValidateViewType | Validates the incoming view type. As of today, the only allowed view type is Plan. |
Remarks
The validation functionality is used by DirectShape to validate the incoming shape.
