Rebar.CreateFreeForm(Document, RebarBarType, Element, IList<CurveLoop>, RebarStyle) Method

Creates a free form rebar that will be unconstrained. Constraints can't be added later to this rebar.

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

Syntax

C#

public static RebarFreeFormCreationResult CreateFreeForm(
	Document doc,
	RebarBarType barType,
	Element host,
	IList<CurveLoop> curves,
	RebarStyle style
)

Parameters

doc Document: A document.
barType RebarBarType: A RebarBarType element that defines bar diameter, bend radius and material of the rebar.
host Element: The element to which the rebar belongs. The element must support rebar hosting.
curves IList<CurveLoop>: Each curve loop represents a bar in the set.
style RebarStyle: The usage of the bar, "standard" or "stirrup/tie".

Return Value

RebarFreeFormCreationResult
Returns a class that stores the newly created Free Form Rebar and the error code. If there is any error, the Rebar will be null.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	host is not a valid rebar host.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	A value passed for an enumeration argument is not a member of that enumeration

Remarks

The created rebar will have curves.Count bars. The layout will be Single if curves.Count is 1, otherwise will be Fixed Number and will not be changeable. Setting a new list of curves will only change the number of bars in set.

This function can fail due to following reasons:

The array of CurveLoops is empty.
At least one CurveLoop is empty.
At least one CurveLoop contains an unbounded curve.
A rebar constructed from curves can't be bent according to the bending radius.
