Creates a new custom hosted point load within the project using data at point.
Overloads (2):
Create
Create(Document,ElementId,AnalyticalElementSelector,XYZ,XYZ,PointLoadType)
Create(Document,ElementId,XYZ,XYZ,XYZ,PointLoadType) 
public static PointLoad Create(
	Document document,
	ElementId hostElemId,
	XYZ point,
	XYZ forceVector,
	XYZ momentVector,
	PointLoadType symbol
)
  • Document
    document
    Document to which new point load will be added.
  • ElementId
    hostElemId
    The AnalyticalElement host element for the point Load.
  • XYZ
    point
    The position of point load, measured in decimal feet.
  • XYZ
    forceVector
    The applied 3d force vector.
  • XYZ
    momentVector
    The applied 3d moment vector.
  • PointLoadType
    symbol
    The symbol of the PointLoad. Set null to use default type.
Return Value PointLoad If successful, returns the newly created PointLoad, otherwise.
