Revit 2026 API
PlaneCreate |
Constructs a Plane object from a normal and an origin represented as XYZ objects. Follows the standard conventions for a planar surface.
The constructed Plane object will pass through origin and be perpendicular to normal. The X and Y axes of the plane will be defined arbitrarily.

Syntax
public static Plane CreateByNormalAndOrigin( XYZ normal, XYZ origin )
Public Shared Function CreateByNormalAndOrigin ( normal As XYZ, origin As XYZ ) As Plane
public: static Plane^ CreateByNormalAndOrigin( XYZ^ normal, XYZ^ origin )
static member CreateByNormalAndOrigin : normal : XYZ * origin : XYZ -> Plane
Parameters
- normal XYZ
- Plane normal. Expected to be a valid non-zero length vector. Doesn't need to be a unit vector.
- origin XYZ
- Plane origin. Expected to lie within the Revit design limits IsWithinLengthLimits(XYZ).
Return Value
Plane
Exceptions| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | The input point lies outside of Revit design limits. |
| ArgumentNullException | A non-optional argument was null |
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | normal has zero length. |
Remarks
This function does not guarantee a specific parameterization of the created Plane. Use Plane.Create(Frame) to enforce a specific parameterization of the created Plane object.
