ItemFactoryBase.NewFamilyInstance(Reference, Line, FamilySymbol)

reference	Reference	A reference to a face.
position	Line	A line on the face defining where the symbol is to be placed.
symbol	FamilySymbol	A FamilySymbol object that represents the type of the instance that is to be inserted. Note that this symbol must represent a family whose <a href="/2022/7fcd2fda-21c3-9b9b-8ef3-ae2e53e02a05">FamilyPlacementType</a> is WorkPlaneBased or CurveBased.
→ returns	FamilyInstance→nullNothingnullptr	An instance of the new object if creation was successful, otherwise null Nothing nullptr a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) .

ItemFactoryBase.NewFamilyInstance(Face, Line, FamilySymbol)

face	Face	A face of a geometry object.
position	Line	A line on the face defining where the symbol is to be placed.
symbol	FamilySymbol	A FamilySymbol object that represents the type of the instance that is to be inserted. Note that this symbol must represent a family whose <a href="/2022/7fcd2fda-21c3-9b9b-8ef3-ae2e53e02a05">FamilyPlacementType</a> is WorkPlaneBased or CurveBased.
→ returns	FamilyInstance→nullNothingnullptr	An instance of the new object if creation was successful, otherwise null Nothing nullptr a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) .

ItemFactoryBase.NewFamilyInstance(XYZ, FamilySymbol, XYZ, Element, StructuralType)

location	XYZ	The physical location where the instance is to be placed.
symbol	FamilySymbol	A FamilySymbol object that represents the type of the instance that is to be inserted.
referenceDirection	XYZ	A vector that dictates the direction of certain family instances.
host	Element	A host object into which the instance will be embedded
structuralType	StructuralType	If structural then specify the type of the component.
→ returns	FamilyInstance→nullNothingnullptr	If creation was successful then an instance to the new object is returned, otherwise null Nothing nullptr a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) .

ItemFactoryBase.NewFamilyInstance(XYZ, FamilySymbol, Element, StructuralType)

location	XYZ	The physical location where the instance is to be placed.
symbol	FamilySymbol	A FamilySymbol object that represents the type of the instance that is to be inserted.
host	Element	The object into which the FamilyInstance is to be inserted, often known as the host.
structuralType	StructuralType	If structural then specify the type of the component.
→ returns	FamilyInstance→nullNothingnullptr	If creation was successful then an instance to the new object is returned, otherwise null Nothing nullptr a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) .
