AreaReinforcement.Create(Document, Element, IList<Curve>, XYZ, ElementId, ElementId, ElementId) Method

Syntax

C#

public static AreaReinforcement Create(
	Document document,
	Element hostElement,
	IList<Curve> curveArray,
	XYZ majorDirection,
	ElementId areaReinforcementTypeId,
	ElementId rebarBarTypeId,
	ElementId rebarHookTypeId
)

Parameters

document  Document

The document.

hostElement  Element

The element that will host the AreaReinforcement. The host can be a Structural Floor, Structural Wall, Structural Slab, or a Part created from a structural layer belonging to one of those element types.

curveArray  IList<Curve>

An array of curves that will define the outline of the AreaReinforcement.

majorDirection  XYZ

A vector to define the major direction of the AreaReinforcement.

areaReinforcementTypeId  ElementId

The id of the AreaReinforcementType.

rebarBarTypeId  ElementId

The id of the RebarBarType.

rebarHookTypeId  ElementId

The id of the RebarHookType. If this parameter is InvalidElementId, it means to create a rebar with no hooks.

Return Value

Exceptions

Example
