Form

Description:
An object that represents a Form within the Autodesk Revit Massing Family.
Remarks:
For any reference returned from a Form method, its GeometryObject will become invalid after a form modification method, e.g. MoveSubElement. Call the method on the Form object to retrieve the new reference if it is needed after the modification.
