Plane

Description:
A Planar surface.

Remarks:
The parametric equation of the plane is S(u, v) = origin + u*xVec + v*yVec.

Name	Return Type	Description	Inherited From
M Create(Frame)	Plane	Creates a Plane object defined by a local frame of reference.
M CreateByNormalAndOrigin(XYZ, XYZ)	Plane	Constructs a Plane object from a normal and an origin represented as XYZ objects. Follows the standard conventions for a planar surface. The constructed Plane object will pass through origin and be perpendicular to normal. The X and Y axes of the plane will be defined arbitrarily.
M CreateByOriginAndBasis(XYZ, XYZ, XYZ)	Plane	Creates a Plane object defined by the two orthogonal unit vectors and passing through the origin point supplied as arguments.
M CreateByThreePoints(XYZ, XYZ, XYZ)	Plane	Creates a Plane object passing through three points supplied as arguments.
M Dispose()	None	(Inherited from Surface )	Surface
M Equals	None	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object )	Object
M GetBoundingBoxUV()	BoundingBoxUV	Gets the UV bounding box of the surface. (Inherited from Surface )	Surface
M GetHashCode	None	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object )	Object
M GetType	None	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object )	Object
M IsCoincidentWith(Surface)	Boolean	Determine if two surfaces are coincident (ignoring Envelopes). For an affirmative answer, the surfaces must have the same type (e.g., two planes). (Inherited from Surface )	Surface
M Project(XYZ, UV%, Double%)	None	Project a 3D point orthogonally onto a surface (to find the nearest point). Throws InvalidOperationException if the projection fails. (Inherited from Surface )	Surface
M ProjectWithGuessPoint(XYZ, UV, UV%, Double%)	None	Project a 3D point orthogonally onto a surface (to find the nearest point). This method is meant to be used when a good approximate solution for the projection is available. Throws InvalidOperationException if the projection fails. (Inherited from Surface )	Surface
M ToString	None	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object )	Object

Name	Return Type	Description	Inherited From
P IsValidObject	Boolean	Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity. (Inherited from Surface )	Surface
P Normal	XYZ	Plane normal.
P OrientationMatchesParametricOrientation	bool	Indicates whether this Surface's orientation is the same as or opposite to its parametric orientation. (Inherited from Surface )	Surface
P Origin	XYZ	Plane origin.
P XVec	XYZ	Axis defining the first parametric direction of the plane.
P YVec	XYZ	Axis defining the second parametric direction of the plane.
