| 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.
|
| 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
|
| ValidateShape |
Validates a shape represented as a collection of geometry objects for use as a view-specific shape.
The objects are expected to be either points or curves. Curves are expected to be flat and lie in a plane
perpendicular to view normal as defined by view type.
|
| 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
