RuledSurface.Create(Curve, XYZ) Method

RuledSurfaceCreate(Curve, XYZ) Method

Creates a Surface object coincident with the ruled surface joining a bounded generating curve to a point.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)
Syntax
public static Surface Create(
	Curve profileCurve,
	XYZ point
)
Public Shared Function Create ( 
	profileCurve As Curve,
	point As XYZ
) As Surface
public:
static Surface^ Create(
	Curve^ profileCurve, 
	XYZ^ point
)
static member Create : 
        profileCurve : Curve * 
        point : XYZ -> Surface

Parameters

profileCurve  Curve
The profile curve; must be bounded and non-degenerate.
point  XYZ
The point. Expected to lie within the Revit design limits IsWithinLengthLimits(XYZ).

Return Value

Surface
The created surface. Note that this surface may not be of type RuledSurf.
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
ArgumentException The input profileCurve is not bound. -or- The profileCurve is degenerate (its length is too close to zero). -or- The input point lies outside of Revit design limits.
ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
Remarks
The returned surface may not be of type RuledSurf - this function will create a surface of the simplest possible type (Plane, CylindricalSurface, etc.) that can be used to represent the given ruled surface. Given that the surface may be simplified, this function does not guarantee any particular parameterization of the surface.
