Syntax

public static BeamSystem Create(
	Document document,
	IList<Curve> profile,
	SketchPlane sketchPlane,
	XYZ direction,
	bool is3d
)

document Document: The document in which the new BeamSystem is created.
profile IList<Curve>: The profile of the BeamSystem.
sketchPlane SketchPlane: The work-plane for the BeamSystem.
direction XYZ: The direction is the direction of the BeamSystem.
is3d Boolean: Whether the BeamSystem is 3D. If the BeamSystem is 3D, the sketchPlane must be a level, otherwise an exception will be thrown.

BeamSystem
If successful, a new BeamSystem object will be returned.

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	SketchPlane is not valid for BeamSystem creation. -or- The input profile contains at least one helical curve and is not supported for this operation. -or- The profile curves must be in the sketch plane.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
InvalidOperationException	The BeamSystem is 3D, but the SketchPlane is not a level.
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.
