Floor.Create

Description:
Creates a new instance of floor within the project.

Remarks:
To validate curve loop profile use BoundaryValidation. To get default floor type use GetDefaultFloorType(Document, Boolean).

Overloads (2):

Create(Document,IList[CurveLoop],ElementId,ElementId)

Create(Document,IList[CurveLoop],ElementId,ElementId,Boolean,Line,Double)

	Document document,
	IList<CurveLoop> profile,
	ElementId floorTypeId,

Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document

document

The document in which the new floor is created.
IList<CurveLoop>

profile

An array of planar curve loops that represent the profile of the floor.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId

floorTypeId

Id of the floor type to be used by the new Floor.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId

levelId

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

isStructural

True if new floor should be structural, false if architectural.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.Line

slopeArrow

A line used to control the slope angle of the Floor. It must be horizontal. If slopeArrow is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the horizontal floor will be created.
Double

slope

The slope angle. If slopeArrow is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), this parameter will be ignored.

Return Value Floor If successful a new floor object within the project.

Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.ArgumentException

The ElementId levelId is not a Level. -or- The floorTypeId does not correspond to a FloorType. -or- The input curve loops cannot compose a valid boundary, that means: the "curveLoops" collection is empty; or some curve loops intersect with each other; or each curve loop is not closed individually; or each curve loop is not planar; or each curve loop is not in a plane parallel to the horizontal(XY) plane; or input curves contain at least one helical curve. -or- The slopeArrow must be a horizontal line. -or- Input curves build invalid sketch. -or- Failed to create curve elements.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.ArgumentNullException

Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.InvalidOperationException

Cannot generate a sketch. -or- Failed to create new element.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.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.
