Get center point of a Rebar Shape

[kimanh96tb]

Hi All,

I'm looking a way to get the center point of Rebar from a Rebar Shape (i remark this point in the picture). 

In my project, i did:

protected XYZ GetRebarOrigin(Rebar rebar)
{
IList<Curve> curves = rebar.GetShapeDrivenAccessor().ComputeDrivingCurves();
if (curves != null && curves.Count > 0)
return curves.First().GetEndPoint(0);
return null;
}

but it isn't point that i want to get. What do i do to get this point?

Thank you!

I recently implemented code to retrieve the centre lines of the rebar, the rebar curves:

It is available from The Building Coder samples:

You can determine the desired centre point from the centre curve as you feel appropriate.
