Document.NewAreaBoundaryConditions

Description:
Creates a new Area BoundaryConditions element on a reference.

Remarks:
This method will only function with the Autodesk Revit Structure application.

Overloads (2):

Autodesk.Revit.DB.Reference

reference

The Geometry reference obtained from a Wall, Slab or Slab Foundation.
Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure.TranslationRotationValue

X_Translation

A value indicating the X axis translation option.
Double

X_TranslationSpringModulus

Translation Spring Modulus for X axis. Ignored if X_Translation is not "Spring".
Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure.TranslationRotationValue

Y_Translation

A value indicating the Y axis translation option.
Double

Y_TranslationSpringModulus

Translation Spring Modulus for Y axis. Ignored if Y_Translation is not "Spring".
Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure.TranslationRotationValue

Z_Translation

A value indicating the Z axis translation option.
Double

Z_TranslationSpringModulus

Translation Spring Modulus for Z axis. Ignored if Z_Translation is not "Spring".

Return Value nullNothingnullptr If successful, NewAreaBoundaryConditions returns an object for the newly created BoundaryConditions with the BoundaryType = 2 - "Area". null Nothing nullptr a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) is returned if the operation fails.
