FamilyItemFactory.NewSweep

Description:
Adds a new sweep form into the family document, using an array of selected references as a 3D path.

Remarks:
This method creates a sweep in a family document. The sweep will trace the profile along the path.

Boolean

isSolid

Indicates if the Sweep is Solid or Void.
ReferenceArray

path

The path of the sweep. The path should be reference of curve or edge obtained from existing geometry.
SweepProfile

profile

The profile to create the new Sweep. The profile must lie in the XY plane, and it will be transformed to the profile plane automatically. This may contain more than one curve loop or a profile family. Each loop must be a fully closed curve loop and the loops must not intersect. 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.
Int32

profileLocationCurveIndex

The index of the path curves. The curve upon which the profile plane will be determined.
ProfilePlaneLocation

profilePlaneLocation

The location on the profileLocationCurve where the profile plane will be determined.

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

ArgumentException
