Document

aDoc

The document.
Element

hostElement

The element that will host the FabricArea. The host can be a Structural Floor, Structural Wall, Structural Slab, or a Part created from a structural layer belonging to one of those element types.
IList<CurveLoop>

curveLoops

An array of curves that will define the outline of the FabricArea. This includes curves defining openings in the interior of the area.
XYZ

majorDirection

A vector to define the major direction of the FabricArea.
XYZ

majorDirectionOrigin

An origin point of the major direction line
ElementId

fabricAreaTypeId

The id of the FabricAreaType.
ElementId

fabricSheetTypeId

The id of the FabricSheetType.

Return Value FabricArea The newly created FabricArea.

ArgumentException

Not all curveLoops in curveLoops are closed and continuous. -or- Not all curveLoops in curveLoops are in the same plane. -or- curveLoops should only contain lines or arcs. -or- The element hostElement was not found in the given document. -or- the host Element is not a valid host for Area Reinforcement, Path Reinforcement, Fabric Area or Fabric Sheet. -or- fabricAreaTypeId should refer to an FabricAreaType element. -or- fabricSheetTypeId should refer to an FabricSheetType element.
ArgumentNullException

A non-optional argument was null
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

majorDirection has zero length.
