Parameters

profileLoops
Type: System.Collections.Generic..::..IList<(Of <(<'CurveLoop>)>)>
The profile loops to be extruded. The loops must be closed, coplanar, and without intersections, self-intersections, or degeneracies. No conditions are imposed on the orientations of the loops: this function will use copies of the input loops that have been oriented as necessary to conform to Revit's orientation conventions.
extrusionDir
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..XYZ
The direction in which to extrude the profile loops. This vector must be non-zero and transverse (i.e., not parallel) to the plane of the profile loops. Its length is irrelevant; only its direction is used.
extrusionDist
Type: System..::..Double
The positive distance by which the loops are to be extruded in the direction of the input extrusionDir.

Return Value

The requested solid.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ArgumentException The profile CurveLoops do not satisfy the input requirements. -or- The Input extrusionDir must be a non-zero vector. The normal of the loop plane should not be perpendicular to the given extrusionDir. -or- The input argument extrusionDist must be positive.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
