Dissolves a collection of form elements into their defining elements.


Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 26.1.0.0 (26.1.0.34)

Syntax

C#

public static ICollection<ElementId> DissolveForms(
	Document ADoc,
	ICollection<ElementId> elements,
	out ICollection<ElementId> ProfileOriginPointSet
)

Parameters

ADoc  Document
The document
elements  ICollection<ElementId>
A collection of element IDs of Forms and GeomCombinations that contain Forms that will be dissolved.
ProfileOriginPointSet  ICollection<ElementId>%
A collection of the point element ids that represent the 'origin' of the profiles

Return Value

ICollection<ElementId>
A collection of curve element ids from the profiles and paths of the dissolved forms.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
ArgumentException The elements do not include Forms that can be dissolved.
ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null

Remarks

Profile origin points define the workplane of form profiles and paths and their curves. The profile origin point represents a coordinate system with an origin (reference point) which can be manipulated to move the curves of a profile together as a unit after dissolve. Profile origin points may themselves be constrained to other parts of the model or parts of the form, based on how the form was created/constructed. This is done through the reference point hosting mechanism.
