FamilyItemFactory has no attribute NewSketchPlane (Revit 2016)

[Anonymous]

Hi. I am trying to create Line in Revit 2016 using RevitPytonShell like in this tutorial:

http://wiki.theprovingground.org/revit-api-py-curves (Drawing a Line section)

But when I execute code I get error message "...FamilyItemFactory has no attribute NewSketchPlane..."

What is the problem here?

The code in the link you refered needs to be modified to match the changes happened in Revit 2016 API

Please find here the updated code

import clr
import math
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI') 
clr.AddReference('RevitAPIUI') 
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import * 
 
doc = __revit__.ActiveUIDocument.Document
app = __revit__.Application
 
t = Transaction(doc, 'Create Line')
 
t.Start()
 
#Create a sketch plane
origin = XYZ.Zero
normal = XYZ.BasisZ
 
plane = Plane(normal, origin)
skplane = SketchPlane.Create(doc, plane)
 
#Create line vertices
lnStart = XYZ(0,0,0)
lnEnd = XYZ(20,20,0)
 
#create NewLine()
line = Line.CreateBound(lnStart, lnEnd)
 
#create NewModelCurve()
crv = doc.Create.NewModelCurve(line, skplane)
 
t.Commit()
 
__window__.Close()
