| ViewShapeBuilder Members |
| ViewShapeBuilder Class Constructors Methods Properties See Also |
The ViewShapeBuilder type exposes the following members.
Constructors
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | ViewShapeBuilder()()()() |
Default constructor for an ViewShapeBuilder object.
|
| ViewShapeBuilder(DirectShapeTargetViewType) |
A constructor for an ViewShapeBuilder object that takes a view type. It will infer the view normal from view type.
View normal and view type are used to validate the geometry to be stored as a view-specific shape representation of a DirectShape object.
|
Methods
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| AddCurve |
Add a curve to the GRep associated to this ViewShapeBuilder.
|
| Dispose | (Inherited from ShapeBuilder.) |
| Equals | (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Reset |
Clears the accumulated geometry and resets other ViewShapeBuilder parameters to invalid values.
|
| SetShape(DirectShape) | Obsolete.
Set a view-specific shape of the DirectShape object to geometry accumulated in this ViewShapeBuilder object.
The view type currently set in ViewShapeBuilder is used. Since the accumulated geometry was validated by ViewShapeBuilder already,
this skips the second validation in DirectShape. This function resets this ViewShapeBuilder object: the geometry is transferred to DirectShape,
view normal and view type are invalidated.
|
| SetShape(DirectShapeType) | Obsolete.
Set a view-specific shape of the DirectShapeType object to geometry accumulated in this ViewShapeBuilder object.
The view type currently set in ViewShapeBuilder is used. Since the accumulated geometry was validated by ViewShapeBuilder already,
this skips the second validation in DirectShapeType. This function resets this ViewShapeBuilder object: the geometry is transferred to DirectShapeType,
view normal and view type are invalidated.
|
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ValidateCurve(Curve) |
Validates curve to be added to the view-specific shape being constructed. Called by AddCurve() to validate input. Expects a valid view normal to be set prior to the call.
|
 | ValidateCurve(Curve, DirectShapeTargetViewType) |
Validates curve to be added to the view-specific shape being constructed. Called by AddCurve() to validate input.
This function may be used to pre-validate the geometry being added to avoid AddCurve() throwing an InvalidArgumentException
|
| ValidateViewType |
Validates the incoming view type. As of today, the only allowed view type is Plan.
|
Properties
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | IsValidObject |
Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
(Inherited from ShapeBuilder.) |
| ViewNormal |
Normal of the view that will display the shape being built. Must be set explicitly before adding any geometry. Must be a unit vector.
This is used to validate incoming geometry - it must be orthogonal to the viewNormal.
|
| ViewType |
View type where the view-specific shape currently being built will be used
