System.String

text

The text to be displayed.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.ModelTextType

modelTextType

The type of model text. If this parameter is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the default type will be used.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.SketchPlane

sketchPlane

The sketch plane of the model text. The direction of model text is determined by the normal of the sketch plane. To extrude in the other direction set the depth value to negative.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.XYZ

position

The position of the model text. The position must lie in the sketch plane.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.HorizontalAlign

horizontalAlign

The horizontal alignment.
System.Double

depth

The depth of the model text.

Return Value ModelText If successful, the newly created model text is returned, otherwise an exception with error information will be thrown.
