ViewShapeBuilder
Description:
Builds and verifies a view-specific shape representation that would typically be stored in a DirectShape object. Currently limited to curve-based representations for plan and elevation views.

Remarks:
The validation functionality is used by DirectShape to validate the incoming shape.

public class ViewShapeBuilder : ShapeBuilder| Name | Return Type | Description | Inherited From |
|---|---|---|---|
| ViewShapeBuilder() | None | Default constructor for an ViewShapeBuilder object. | |
| ViewShapeBuilder(DirectShapeTargetViewType) | None | A constructor for an ViewShapeBuilder object that takes a view type. It will infer the view normal from view type. View normal and view type are used to validate the geometry to be stored as a view-specific shape representation of a DirectShape object. |
| Name | Return Type | Description | Inherited From |
|---|---|---|---|
| AddCurve(Curve) | None | Add a curve to the GRep associated to this ViewShapeBuilder. | |
| Reset() | None | Clears the accumulated geometry and resets other ViewShapeBuilder parameters to invalid values. | |
| ValidateCurve(Curve) | bool | Validates curve to be added to the view-specific shape being constructed. Called by AddCurve() to validate input. Expects a valid view normal to be set prior to the call. | |
| ValidateCurve(Curve, DirectShapeTargetViewType) | bool | Validates curve to be added to the view-specific shape being constructed. Called by AddCurve() to validate input. This function may be used to pre-validate the geometry being added to avoid AddCurve() throwing an InvalidArgumentException | |
| ValidateShape(IList<GeometryObject>, DirectShapeTargetViewType) | bool | Validates a shape represented as a collection of geometry objects for use as a view-specific shape. The objects are expected to be either points, curves or polylines. | |
| ValidateViewType(DirectShapeTargetViewType) | bool | Validates the incoming view type. As of today, the only allowed view type is Plan. | |
| Dispose() | None | Releases all resources used by the | ShapeBuilder |
| Name | Return Type | Description | Inherited From |
|---|---|---|---|
| ViewNormal | XYZ | Normal of the view that will display the shape being built. Must be set explicitly before adding any geometry. Must be a unit vector. This is used to validate incoming geometry - it must be orthogonal to the viewNormal. | |
| ViewType | DirectShapeTargetViewType | View type where the view-specific shape currently being built will be used | |
| IsValidObject | bool | Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity. | ShapeBuilder |
