Visual C++
public:
PointLoad^ NewPointLoad(
	XYZ^ point, 
	XYZ^ force, 
	XYZ^ moment, 
	bool isReaction, 
	PointLoadType^ symbol, 
	SketchPlane^ plane
)

Parameters

point
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..XYZ
The point of the PointLoad application.
force
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..XYZ
The 3d force.
moment
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..XYZ
The 3d moment.
isReaction
Type: System..::..Boolean
Specifies if the load is a reaction load. The load cannot be modified if isReaction=True.
symbol
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure..::..PointLoadType
The symbol of the PointLoad.
plane
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..SketchPlane
Indicate the work plane of the PointLoad.

Return Value

If successful, NewPointLoad returns an object for the newly created PointLoad. nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is returned if the operation fails.

Examples

CopyC#
//Define the location at which the PointLoad is applied. 
 XYZ point = new XYZ(0, 0, 4);
 //Define the 3d force. 
 XYZ force = new XYZ(0, 0, -1);
 //Define the 3d moment. 
 XYZ moment = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);
 //Set to True if you wish to create the reaction
 System.Boolean isReaction = true;

 PointLoad pointLoad = document.Create.NewPointLoad(point, force, moment, isReaction, null, null);
CopyVB.NET
'Define the location at which the PointLoad is applied. 
Dim point As New XYZ(0, 0, 4)
'Define the 3d force. 
Dim force As New XYZ(0, 0, -1)
'Define the 3d moment. 
Dim moment As New XYZ(0, 0, 0)
'Set to True if you wish to create the reaction
Dim isReaction As System.Boolean = True

Dim pointLoad As PointLoad = document.Create.NewPointLoad(point, force, moment, isReaction, Nothing, Nothing)

Exceptions
