Revit 2025 API
Beam |
Creates a new BeamSystem with specified profile curves.
Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)
Syntax
public static BeamSystem Create( Document document, IList<Curve> profile, SketchPlane sketchPlane, XYZ direction, bool is3d )
Public Shared Function Create ( document As Document, profile As IList(Of Curve), sketchPlane As SketchPlane, direction As XYZ, is3d As Boolean ) As BeamSystem
public: static BeamSystem^ Create( Document^ document, IList<Curve^>^ profile, SketchPlane^ sketchPlane, XYZ^ direction, bool is3d )
static member Create : document : Document * profile : IList<Curve> * sketchPlane : SketchPlane * direction : XYZ * is3d : bool -> BeamSystem
Parameters
- document Document
- The document in which the new BeamSystem is created.
- profile IListCurve
- The profile of the BeamSystem.
- sketchPlane SketchPlane
- The work-plane for the BeamSystem.
- direction XYZ
- The direction is the direction of the BeamSystem.
- is3d Boolean
- Whether the BeamSystem is 3D. If the BeamSystem is 3D, the sketchPlane must be a level, otherwise an exception will be thrown.
Return Value
BeamSystemIf successful, a new BeamSystem object will be returned.

Exception | Condition |
---|---|
ArgumentException | SketchPlane is not valid for BeamSystem creation. -or- The input profile contains at least one helical curve and is not supported for this operation. -or- The profile curves must be in the sketch plane. |
ArgumentNullException | A non-optional argument was null |
InvalidOperationException | The BeamSystem is 3D, but the SketchPlane is not a level. |
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. |
ModificationOutsideTransactionException | The document has no open transaction. |
