Revit 2025 API
Rebar |
Add a parameter to the shape definition.
Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)
Syntax
public void AddParameter( ElementId paramId, double defaultValue )
Public Sub AddParameter ( paramId As ElementId, defaultValue As Double )
public: void AddParameter( ElementId^ paramId, double defaultValue )
member AddParameter : paramId : ElementId * defaultValue : float -> unit
Parameters
- paramId ElementId
- The parameter. To obtain the id of a shared parameter, call RebarShapeParameters.GetElementIdForExternalDefinition.
- defaultValue Double
- A default value for this parameter in shapes. The default values should be chosen carefully, because they are required to be consistent as a set of constraints.

Exception | Condition |
---|---|
ArgumentException | paramId is not the id of a shared parameter in the current document, or its unit type is not UT_Reinforcement_Length or UT_Angle. -or- The name of a shared parameter identified by paramId was already used by another shared parameter of the element. |
ArgumentNullException | A non-optional argument was null |

A shape parameter must be a shared parameter and have value type double.
A parameter must be added to the definition before it can be used to
drive the shape in a RebarShapeConstraint object.
A parameter that does not drive a constraint is legal and will
simply become an editable parameter on any Rebar that is an instance of this RebarShape.
