How to create in place models with API code（as Extrusion）

[yz8023yz]

I found with GeometryCreationUtilities CreateExtrusionGeometry () 、

DirectShape DirectShape = DirectShape. The CreateElement method ()

can't in the edit type。I also didn't find a way to create in place models models in the Revit API

Yes. I believe that CreateExtrusionGeometry can only be used in a family definition, in the context of an RFA. I also believe that in-place models are not supported by the Revit API. You may find a corresponding wish list item in the Revit Idea Station. If you wish to generate geometry within a Revit project without resorting to the complexity of a family definition and a family instance placement, the direct shape is the way to go. Here are some examples:
