ItemFactoryBase.NewModelCurve

Description:
Creates a new model line element.
Remarks:
Different type of model curve element will be returned according to the type of geometry curve. 
public ModelCurve NewModelCurve(
	Curve geometryCurve,
	SketchPlane sketchPlane
)
  • Curve
    geometryCurve
    The internal geometry curve for model line.
  • SketchPlane
    sketchPlane
    The sketch plane this new model line resides in.
Return Value ModelCurve If successful a new model line element. Otherwise . 
// get handle to application from document
Autodesk.Revit.ApplicationServices.Application application = document.Application;

// Create a geometry line in Revit application
XYZ startPoint = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);
XYZ endPoint = new XYZ(10, 10, 0);
Line geomLine = Line.CreateBound(startPoint, endPoint);

// Create a geometry arc in Revit application
XYZ end0 = new XYZ(1, 0, 0);
XYZ end1 = new XYZ(10, 10, 10);
XYZ pointOnCurve = new XYZ(10, 0, 0);
Arc geomArc = Arc.Create(end0, end1, pointOnCurve);

// Create a geometry plane in Revit application
XYZ origin = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);
XYZ normal = new XYZ(1, 1, 0);
Plane geomPlane = Plane.CreateByNormalAndOrigin(normal, origin);

// Create a sketch plane in current document
SketchPlane sketch = SketchPlane.Create(document, geomPlane);

// Create a ModelLine element using the created geometry line and sketch plane
ModelLine line = document.Create.NewModelCurve(geomLine, sketch) as ModelLine;

// Create a ModelArc element using the created geometry arc and sketch plane
ModelArc arc = document.Create.NewModelCurve(geomArc, sketch) as ModelArc;
