Create SectionView_The BoundingBoxXYZ is not appropriate for detail views Error

[ombhagwat29]

Hi All,

I am just getting into Revit API.

I am trying to create simple section and how it throws and error ralted to bounding box.

please see attached img.

It seems to me that bounding box is valid because I am able to add its boundary curves to Document. 

See attached

This is what i am doing.

I also have read and tried understanding creting sections from this post

https://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2012/06/create-section-view-parallel-to-wall.html

 but I am not able really solve it. Perhaps because of lack of understanding. 

Any help would be apprecitated!!!

Best,

Om

Needs to be defined in the coordinate system of the view (Z towards viewer).

Refer to the transform of the original View.CropBox. Your Basis.Z can't be 0,0,1, unless the view is a plan looking down upon model from above.
