CurveLoop.CreateViaThicken(Curve, Double, XYZ) Method

Creates a new closed curve loop by thickening the input curve with respect to a given plane.

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

Syntax

C#

public static CurveLoop CreateViaThicken(
	Curve pCurve,
	double thickness,
	XYZ normal
)

Parameters

pCurve Curve: The input curve.
thickness Double: The distance between the offset curves created on either side of the input curve.
normal XYZ: The normal vector to the plane used for thickening.

Return Value

CurveLoop
The new curve loop.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The input thickness is too short for a curve. -or- The input pCurve points to a helical curve and is not supported for this operation.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
InvalidOperationException	Throws if the input curve could not be thickened.

Remarks

The new loop will be created via offsets of the input curve (in the plane of the normal vector) with the endpoints connected with lines.The original curve will be at the center of the new loop.

Note that for input elliptical fragments and NurbSpline curves, any offsets will be created as HermiteSplines.
