Create Method (Plane, Double, Double, Double)
Creates a new geometric arc object based on plane, radius, and angles.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 21.0.0.0 (21.1.1.109)
Since:  2014

Syntax

C#
public static Arc Create(
	Plane plane,
	double radius,
	double startAngle,
	double endAngle
)
Visual Basic
Public Shared Function Create ( _
	plane As Plane, _
	radius As Double, _
	startAngle As Double, _
	endAngle As Double _
) As Arc
Visual C++
public:
static Arc^ Create(
	Plane^ plane, 
	double radius, 
	double startAngle, 
	double endAngle
)

Parameters

plane
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Plane
The plane which the arc resides. The plane's origin is the center of the arc.
radius
Type: System..::..Double
The radius of the arc.
startAngle
Type: System..::..Double
The start angle of the arc (in radians).
endAngle
Type: System..::..Double
The end angle of the arc (in radians).

Return Value

The new arc.

Remarks

If the angle range is equal to or greater than 2 * PI, the curve will be automatically converted to an unbounded circle.

Examples

CopyC#
Arc CreateArcByGivingPlane(Autodesk.Revit.ApplicationServices.Application application, Plane plane)
{
    // Create an arc which is placed on the plane and whose center is the plane's origin
    double radius = 10;
    double startAngle = 0;      // The unit is radian
    double endAngle = 2 * Math.PI;        // this arc will be a circle
    return Arc.Create(plane, radius, startAngle, endAngle);
}
CopyVB.NET
Private Function CreateArcByGivingPlane(application As Autodesk.Revit.ApplicationServices.Application, plane As Plane) As Arc
    ' Create an arc which is placed on the plane and whose center is the plane's origin
    Dim radius As Double = 10
    Dim startAngle As Double = 0
    ' The unit is radian
    Dim endAngle As Double = 2 * Math.PI
    ' this arc will be a circle
    Return Arc.Create(plane, radius, startAngle, endAngle)
End Function

Exceptions
