Create Method
Creates a new BuildingPad element and adds it to the document.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Architecture
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 23.0.0.0 (23.1.0.0)
Since:  2014

Syntax

C#
public static BuildingPad Create(
	Document document,
	ElementId buildingPadTypeId,
	ElementId levelId,
	IList<CurveLoop> curveLoops
)
Visual Basic
Public Shared Function Create ( _
	document As Document, _
	buildingPadTypeId As ElementId, _
	levelId As ElementId, _
	curveLoops As IList(Of CurveLoop) _
) As BuildingPad
Visual C++
public:
static BuildingPad^ Create(
	Document^ document, 
	ElementId^ buildingPadTypeId, 
	ElementId^ levelId, 
	IList<CurveLoop^>^ curveLoops
)

Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Document
The document to be modified.
buildingPadTypeId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..ElementId
The type id set to the BuildingPad.
levelId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..ElementId
The level id set to the BuildingPad.
curveLoops
Type: System.Collections.Generic..::..IList<(Of <(<'CurveLoop>)>)>
The boundary of the BuildingPad.

Return Value

The new BuildingPad element.

Remarks

The document will be regenerated during the creation of building pad element. If the input curve loops intersect the curve loops of existing BuildingPads hosted on the same topography surface, an InvalidOperationException will be thrown. If you need access to the topography surface created by the introduction of this building pad, you can obtain it from AssociatedTopographySurfaceId.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ArgumentException The buildingPadTypeId is not a valid type id for a BuildingPad. -or- The ElementId levelId is not a Level. -or- The input curve loops cannot compose a valid boundary, that means: no curve loop is contained in the given collection; these curve loops intersect with each other for some of them; or each curve loop is not closed individually; or each curve loop is not planar; or each curve loop is not in a plane parallel to the horizontal(XY) plane.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..InvalidOperationException Failed to create the Sketch for the boundary of new created BuildingPad. -or- Cannot find an appropriate hosting topography surface for this BuildingPad. -or- This topography surface cannot be the host of this BuildingPad. -or- The given curve loops intersect with curve loops of existing BuildingPads hosted on the same TopographySurface. -or- There is at least one existing SubRegion which is completely inside or overlap the boundary of current BuildingPad hosted on the same TopographySurface. This behavior is not allowed.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ModificationForbiddenException The document is in failure mode: an operation has failed, and Revit requires the user to either cancel the operation or fix the problem (usually by deleting certain elements). -or- The document is being loaded, or is in the midst of another sensitive process.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ModificationOutsideTransactionException The document has no open transaction.
