FamilyItemFactory.NewRevolution

Description:
Add a new Revolution instance into the Autodesk Revit family document.

Remarks:
This method creates an Revolution in a family document. The Revolution will be rotated the plane of the Revolution profile about the Axis.

public Revolution NewRevolution(
	bool isSolid,
	CurveArrArray profile,
	SketchPlane sketchPlane,
	Line axis,
	double startAngle,
	double endAngle
)

Public Function NewRevolution ( 
	isSolid As Boolean,
	profile As CurveArrArray,
	sketchPlane As SketchPlane,
	axis As Line,
	startAngle As Double,
	endAngle As Double
) As Revolution

Boolean

isSolid

Indicates if the Revolution is Solid or Void.
CurveArrArray

profile

The profile of the newly created revolution. This may contain more than one curve loop. Each loop must be a fully closed curve loop and the loops must not intersect. All loops must lie in the same plane. The loop can be a unbound circle or ellipse, but its geometry will be split in two in order to satisfy requirements for sketches used in extrusions.
SketchPlane

sketchPlane

The sketch plane for the revolution. The direction of revolution is determined by the normal for the sketch plane.
Line

axis

The axis of revolution. This axis must lie in the same plane as the curve loops.
Double

startAngle

The start angle of Revolution in radians.
Double

endAngle

The end angle of Revolution in radians.

Return Value Revolution If creation was successful the new revolution is returned, otherwise an exception with failure information will be thrown.
