Wall.Create(Document, IList<Curve>, ElementId, ElementId, Boolean, XYZ) Method

Creates a non rectangular profile wall within the project using the specified wall type and normal vector.

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

Syntax

C#

public static Wall Create(
	Document document,
	IList<Curve> profile,
	ElementId wallTypeId,
	ElementId levelId,
	bool structural,
	XYZ normal
)

Parameters

document Document: The document in which the new wall is created.
profile IList<Curve>: An array of planar curves that represent the vertical profile of the wall.
wallTypeId ElementId: Id of the wall type to be used by the new wall instead of the default type.
levelId ElementId: Id of the level on which the wall is to be placed.
structural Boolean: If set, specifies that the wall is structural in nature.
normal XYZ: A vector that must be perpendicular to the profile which dictates which side of the wall is considered to be inside and outside.

Return Value

Wall
If successful a new wall object within the project.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The input profile contains at least one helical curve and is not supported for this operation.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
InvalidOperationException	Failed to create the wall.
ModificationForbiddenException	The document is in failure mode: an operation has failed, and Revit requires the user to either cancel the operation or fix the problem (usually by deleting certain elements). -or- The document is being loaded, or is in the midst of another sensitive process.
ModificationOutsideTransactionException	The document has no open transaction.

Example

C#

public Wall CreateWallUsingProfile(Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document document, Level level, WallType wallType)
{
    // Build a wall profile for the wall creation
    XYZ first = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);
    XYZ second = new XYZ(20, 0, 0);
    XYZ third = new XYZ(20, 0, 15);
    XYZ fourth = new XYZ(0, 0, 15);
    IList<Curve> profile = new List<Curve>();

    // Get application creation object
    Autodesk.Revit.Creation.Application appCreation = document.Application.Create;

    profile.Add(Line.CreateBound(first, second));
    profile.Add(Line.CreateBound(second, third));
    profile.Add(Line.CreateBound(third, fourth));
    profile.Add(Line.CreateBound(fourth, first));

    XYZ normal = new XYZ(0, 1, 0);

    // Create a wall
    return Wall.Create(document, profile, wallType.Id, level.Id, true, normal);
}
