RebarShapeDefinition.AddParameter

Description:
Add a parameter to the shape definition.

Remarks:
A shape parameter must be a shared parameter and have value type double. A parameter must be added to the definition before it can be used to drive the shape in a RebarShapeConstraint object. A parameter that does not drive a constraint is legal and will simply become an editable parameter on any Rebar that is an instance of this RebarShape.

ElementId

paramId

The parameter. To obtain the id of a shared parameter, call RebarShapeParameters.GetElementIdForExternalDefinition.
Double

defaultValue

A default value for this parameter in shapes. The default values should be chosen carefully, because they are required to be consistent as a set of constraints.

ArgumentException

paramId is not the id of a shared parameter in the current document, or its unit type is not Reinforcement_Length, Angle or Number. -or- The name of a shared parameter identified by paramId was already used by another shared parameter of the element.
ArgumentNullException

A non-optional argument was null
