Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document

document

The document in which the new wall is created.
System.Collections.Generic.IList<Curve>

profile

An array of planar curves that represent the vertical profile of the wall.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId

wallTypeId

Id of the wall type to be used by the new wall instead of the default type.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId

levelId

Id of the level on which the wall is to be placed.
System.Boolean

structural

If set, specifies that the wall is structural in nature.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.XYZ

normal

A vector that must be perpendicular to the profile which dictates which side of the wall is considered to be inside and outside.

Return Value Wall If successful a new wall object within the project.
