Syntax

public static Plane CreateByOriginAndBasis(
	XYZ origin,
	XYZ basisX,
	XYZ basisY
)

origin XYZ: Plane origin. Expected to lie within the Revit design limits IsWithinLengthLimits(XYZ).
basisX XYZ: First of the two unit vectors that define the plane. Must be orthogonal to the second one.
basisY XYZ: Second of the two unit vectors that define the plane. Must be orthogonal to the first one.

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The input point lies outside of Revit design limits.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	basisX is not length 1.0. -or- basisY is not length 1.0.
ArgumentsInconsistentException	The vectors basisX and basisY are not perpendicular.

The parametric equation of the plane is S(u, v) = origin + u*basisX + v*basisY. The plane's normal is defined as basisX.Cross(basisY).
