TopographySurface.Create(Document, IList.XYZ., IList.PolymeshFacet.)

Public Class

Note: This API is now obsolete.

Creates a new topography surface element from facets and adds it to the document.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Architecture

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

Syntax

[ObsoleteAttribute("This method is deprecated in Revit 2024 with the introduction of the new Toposolid elements.  It is recommended that Toposolid elements should be used in place of TopographySurface elements.")]
public static TopographySurface Create(
  Document document,
  IList<XYZ> points,
  IList<PolymeshFacet> facets
)

Parameters

document Document

The document to be modified.

pointsIList. XYZ.

A collection of points. The points represent an enclosed area in the XY plane.

facetsIList. PolymeshFacet.

Triangle facets composing a polygon mesh. Every facet contains 3 integers representing vertex indices.

Return Value

TopographySurface
The new topography surface.

Exceptions

Exception

Condition

ArgumentException

document is not a project document. -or- There are invalid facets. Facets with more than two points with same x, y are not allowed. -or- There is(are) reference gap(s) between input arguments: points and facets.

ArgumentNullException

A non-optional argument was null

ModificationForbiddenException

The document is in failure mode: an operation has failed, and Revit requires the user to either cancel the operation or fix the problem (usually by deleting certain elements). -or- The document is being loaded, or is in the midst of another sensitive process.

ModificationOutsideTransactionException

The document has no open transaction.

Remarks

The document will be regenerated during the creation of this topography surface element. The topography surface created by facet cannot modify its triangle points and facets.
