Get Wall Location Line (from joined wall)

desdinova — Mon, 30 Jan 2017 13:17:00 GMT

 public Line GetWallLocation(Document doc, Wall wall)
        {
            Line line = null;

            LocationCurve locationCurve = wall.Location as LocationCurve;
            Curve curve = locationCurve.Curve;

            line = curve as Line;

            using (Transaction t = new Transaction(doc, "Create"))
            {
                t.Start();
                DetailCurve dc = doc.Create.NewDetailCurve(doc.ActiveView, line);
                t.Commit();
            }

            return line;
        }

Hello friends,

Dear Desdinova,

I don't understand your question.

What does 'get these lines' exactly mean?

The code that you show might do just what you are asking, depending on how you use it and what you mean by that.

Is there more to it than I currently see?

Cheers,

Jeremy

Dear Jeremy

I want to get the line in second picture.

The location curve returns line in first picture

In the case you show, you can subtract a vector from the end of the line, presumably with a length half the neighbouring wall width.

Thank you

I never thought it would be that easy...
