EndPointReference()

Anonymous — Tue, 06 Jun 2017 10:26:55 GMT

I am strugglying with a problem that is to access the reference of the end point of a pipe curve to then create a dimension in the model, by the method doc.Create.Dimension().I already tried to use the Curve.EndPointReference(int index) method but it returns only null value. Can anyone help how acess this information ?

You probably are using the LocationCurve to find the reference. You need to use the "reference" Curve/Line that is part of the Element.Geometry.

			        Selection sel = this.ActiveUIDocument.Selection;
				Element elem = doc.GetElement(sel.GetElementIds().FirstOrDefault());
				Options opt = new Options();
				opt.ComputeReferences = true;
				opt.IncludeNonVisibleObjects = true;
				opt.View = doc.ActiveView;
				Reference ptRef =null;
				foreach( var geoObj in elem.get_Geometry(opt) )
				{
					Curve cv = geoObj as Curve;
					if (cv==null) continue;
					ptRef = cv.GetEndPointReference(0);
				}
				if (ptRef!=null)
				{
					TaskDialog.Show("debug",ptRef.ConvertToStableRepresentation(doc));
				}

Thank you very much. Now was possible take the reference point.
