The input point lies outside of Revit design limits.

[johan_neethling9LA52]

When creating Planes in a Revit project, typically using

Plane oPlane = Plane.CreateByNormalAndOrigin(normal, oIntersection);

I get the error:

Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions.ArgumentException: 'The input point lies outside of Revit design limits.

 The point where the plane is inserted is located about 

7,21122593 mile
11,60534318 km

from the origin. This is smaller than the Deisgn Limits given in the following document:

The same application worked with Revit 2017. Has there been a change in the Design Limits, and how can I resolve this?

Dear Johan,

I repeat what I just said to Dirk in his thread on the same topic:

Oh dear, that sounds problematic. I will gladly discuss this with the development team. Can you share a complete minimal reproducible case for them to analyse, demonstrating the issue, throwing the exception and showing exactly how your normal vector and origin point are defined?

Thank you.
