Create a newopening

[amati_p]

Hi here, I want to create an opening in a wall and I want to know if you have some examples for this. I tried all things that I found on internet and on the forum and nothing worked. Is there someone to help me?

HI @amati_p 
Kindly Refer the below code

            //Selection of Wall
            Reference refer = uiDoc.Selection.PickObject(Autodesk.Revit.UI.Selection.ObjectType.Element);

            //Get Wall
            Wall wall = doc.GetElement(refer) as Wall;


            //Diagonal Corner Points of the Rectangle
            XYZ p1 = new XYZ(500 / 304.8, 0, 500 / 304.8);
            XYZ p2 = new XYZ(1500 / 304.8, 0, 2000 / 304.8);


            //Create Opening
            using (Transaction createOpening=new Transaction(doc,"Create Opening"))
            {
                createOpening.Start();

                doc.Create.NewOpening(wall, p1, p2);

                createOpening.Commit();
            }

Hi @amati_p ,

In addition to what @arshad99 said, I would advise you to start by creating an opening in Revit in UI.
Analyse the opening element using the Revit Lookup tool and get the required points.
Use the points in the NewOpening() method.
