ReferencePoint.SetPointElementReference

Public Class

Change the rule for computing the location of the ReferencePoint relative to other elements in the document.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB

Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.0.0.0 (25.0.0.0)

Syntax

public void SetPointElementReference(
  PointElementReference pointElementReference
)

Parameters

pointElementReference PointElementReference

An object specifying a rule for the location and orientation of a ReferencePoint. (Note: The ReferencePoint object does not store the pointElementReference object after this call.)

Exceptions

Exception

Condition

InvalidOperationException

Thrown when Reference is set to a non-null object, and the ReferencePoint is unable to move to the new reference.

Remarks

pointElementReference may be ., in which case the ReferencePoint does not follow any other element. When Reference is changed from . to a non-null value, the point moves and rotates to the prescribed location and orientation. Where the coordinate system has some freedom, it will remain as close to the old orientation as possible. When the reference is set to ., the point does not move or rotate.
