Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.3.0.0 (25.3.0.0)

Syntax

public class RebarFreeFormAccessor : IDisposable

Public Class RebarFreeFormAccessor
	Implements IDisposable

public ref class RebarFreeFormAccessor : IDisposable

type RebarFreeFormAccessor = 
    class
        interface IDisposable
    end

The RebarFreeFormAccessor type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	AlignedFreeFormSetOrientationOptions	Orientation options for an Aligned Free Form Rebar set.
	CycleCounter	Identifies the cycle counter. It can be zero or a pozitive number. Its value is changed when the free form Rebar element is selected and the user press Space key -or- through the setter of this property -or- by the server if it considers that the counter reaches the maximum value and reset it (set it to 0). This property can be accessed just for Rebars that are controlled by a server.
	IsValidObject	Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
	RebarStyle	Identifies the RebarStyle of the current Rebar element.
	StirrupTieAttachmentType	Identifies the StirrupTieAttachmentType of the current Rebar element. The RebarStyle of the Rebar element must be StirrupTie.
	WorkshopInstructions	Identifies the workshop instructions of the current Rebar element.

Methods

	Name	Description
	AddUpdatingSharedParameter	Add existing shared parameter as a dependency for the calculation of the rebar curves.
	CanBeHookNormal	A vector can be hook normal if for a bar specified by index, the bar direction is not parallel with the vector.
	DisconnectFromServer	Sets the GUID of the API server to invalid value and removes all the server related data from the Rebar (ex. the current constraints and the handle tags are removed). Calling this method will result in a Rebar that will not react to host changes anymore, however it will still have all the properties that it used to have.
	Dispose	Releases all resources used by the RebarFreeFormAccessor
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
	GetCouplerIdAtIndex	Gets the id of the Rebar Coupler that is applied to the bar with index barPositionIndex at the specified end.
	GetCustomDistributionPath	Gets the custom distribution path for free form rebar set.
	GetEndTreatmentTypeIdAtIndex	Gets the id of the EndTreatmentType that is applied to the bar with index barPositionIndex at the specified end.
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
	GetHookOrientationAngle	Get the hook orientation angle at end.
	GetHookOrientationAngleAtIndex	Gets the hook orientation angle that is applied to this Rebar at the bar with index barPositionIndex at the specified end.
	GetHookOrientationAtIndex	Gets the hook orientation that is applied to this Rebar at the bar with index barPositionIndex at the specified end.
	GetHookPlaneNormalForBarIdx	Returns the normal of plane in which the hook at end of bar with index barPositionIndex will stay.
	GetHookTypeIdAtIndex	Gets the id of the RebarHookType that is applied to this Rebar at the bar with index barPositionIndex at the specified end.
	GetServerGUID	Returns the GUID of the API server.
	GetShapeIdAtIndex	Gets the Rebar Shape id for the bar with index barPositionIndex.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
	GetUpdatingSharedParameters	Get the shared parameters listed as dependencies in the calculation of the rebar curves
	HasValidAlignedServer	Returns true if the current rebar is created with the Aligned Free Form rebar server, false otherwise.
	HasValidServer	Returns true if the current rebar contains a valid server GUID, false otherwise.
	IsBarMatchedWithShapeInReverseOrder	Checks if the bar at index barPositionIndex it's matched in reversed order with its shape.
	IsUnconstrained	Returns true if the current rebar doesn't contains a valid server GUID, or contains a valid server GUID and no valid constraints.
	RemoveUpdatingSharedParameter	Remove existing shared parameter as a dependency for the calculation of the rebar curves.
	SetCurves(IListCurveLoop)
	SetCurves(IListIListCurve)
	SetHookOrientationAngle	Set the hook orientation angle at end. Will throw exception if the rebar has valid constraints.
	SetHookPlaneNormalForBarIdx	Set the normal of plane in which the hook at end of bar with index barPositionIndex will stay. Will throw exception if the rebar has valid constraints.
	SetLayoutAsFixedNumber	Sets the Layout Rule property of rebar set to Fixed Number.
	SetLayoutAsMaximumSpacing	Sets the Layout Rule property of rebar set to Maximum Spacing.
	SetLayoutAsMinimumClearSpacing	Sets the Layout Rule property of rebar set to Minimum Clear Spacing.
	SetLayoutAsNumberWithSpacing	Sets the Layout Rule property of rebar set to Number With Spacing.
	SetLayoutAsSingle	Sets the Layout Rule property of rebar set to Single.
	SetReportedShape	This method changes the RebarShape of a Free Form Rebar that is using RebarWorkInstructions.Straight property to the provided RebarShape.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Remarks

Obtain an instance of this class from GetFreeFormAccessor. The accessor includes a reference to the Rebar element. If the referenced Rebar element is deleted, using the methods form this class will throw exception.
