PathReinforcement.Create

Description:
Creates a new PathReinforcement object from an array of curves. The newly created object will use a default Rebar Shape.

Remarks:
The method sets Rebar Shape of primary bars only.

Autodesk.Revit.DB.Document

document

The document.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.Element

hostElement

The element that will host the PathReinforcement. The host can be a Structural Floor, Structural Wall, Structural Slab, or a Part created from a structural layer belonging to one of those element types.
IList<Curve>

curveArray

An array of curves that will define the outline of the PathReinforcement.
Boolean

flip

A flag controlling the bars relative to the curves.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId

pathReinforcementTypeId

The id of the PathReinforcementType.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId

rebarBarTypeId

The id of the RebarBarType.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId

startRebarHookTypeId

The id of the RebarHookType for the start of the bar. If this parameter is InvalidElementId, it means to create a rebar with no start hook.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.ElementId

endRebarHookTypeId

The id of the RebarHookType for the end of the bar. If this parameter is InvalidElementId, it means to create a rebar with no end hook.

Return Value PathReinforcement The newly created PathReinforcement.
