TessellatedShapeBuilder.CreateMeshByExtrusion

Description:
Builds a mesh by extruding curve loop(s) along extrusion distance.

Remarks:
This function supports creation of a mesh given a collection of continuous curve loops, which are processed independently from each other. Loops with gaps or with curves with wrong flips will be split before processing.

System.Collections.Generic.IList<CurveLoop>

profileLoops

The profile loops to be extruded. The loops will not be modified.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.XYZ

extrusionDirection

Direction of extrusion. The length of this vector is ignored.
System.Double

extrusionDistance

The positive distance by which the loops are extruded in the direction of the input extrusionDir.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId

materialId

Material which should be used by a constructed mesh.

Return Value MeshFromGeometryOperationResult Returns a mesh, which was constructed, and some additional information.

Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.ArgumentException

The input value cannot be used as thickness for an extrusion, or blend, or wall layer, or similar geometric construct.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.ArgumentNullException

A non-optional argument was NULL
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.ArgumentOutOfRangeException

extrusionDirection has zero length.
