TessellatedShapeBuilder.CreateMeshByExtrusion Method

Builds a mesh by extruding curve loop(s) along extrusion distance.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 26.4.0.0 (26.4.0.0)

Syntax

C#

public static MeshFromGeometryOperationResult CreateMeshByExtrusion(
	IList<CurveLoop> profileLoops,
	XYZ extrusionDirection,
	double extrusionDistance,
	ElementId materialId
)

Parameters

profileLoops IList<CurveLoop>: The profile loops to be extruded. The loops will not be modified.
extrusionDirection XYZ: Direction of extrusion. The length of this vector is ignored.
extrusionDistance Double: The positive distance by which the loops are extruded in the direction of the input extrusionDir.
materialId ElementId: Material which should be used by a constructed mesh.

Return Value

MeshFromGeometryOperationResult
Returns a mesh, which was constructed, and some additional information.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The input value cannot be used as thickness for an extrusion, or blend, or wall layer, or similar geometric construct.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	extrusionDirection has zero length.

Remarks

This function supports creation of a mesh given a collection of continuous curve loops, which are processed independently from each other. Loops with gaps or with curves with wrong flips will be split before processing.
