Wall Set Top Constraint Parameter.

Anonymous · ‎10-25-2016

Hi API Community,

I've created a wall through the API it set the Top Constraint to Unconnected. I'd like to set the Top Constraint parameter to a level and remove the Unconnected Height. Is this possible? I haven't had any luck with my method.

public void CreateWall(Document doc, ObjWalls LinkedWall)
        {
            MyLibrary lib = new MyLibrary();
            LocationCurve locationCurve = LinkedWall.WallCurve;
            List<Level> levels = lib.GetLevels(doc);
            Level BaseLevel = levels.Find(l => l.Name == LinkedWall.BaseConstraint);
            Level TopLevel = levels.Find(l => l.Name == LinkedWall.TopConstranit);

            XYZ startPoint = LinkedWall.startPoint;
            XYZ endPoint = LinkedWall.EndPoint;

            Line line = Line.CreateBound(startPoint, endPoint);
            Transaction t = new Transaction(doc);
            t.Start("Create Wall");
            try 
            {
                Wall wall = Wall.Create(doc, line, BaseLevel.Id, true);
                Parameter parm = wall.LookupParameter("Top Constraint");
                parm.Set(TopLevel.Name);
            }
            catch { }
            t.Commit();
        }

Hey Danny,

you can set the top of the wall to a level you want, with

Parameter p = wall.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.WALL_HEIGHT_TYPE);
if (null != p)
{
    p .Set(level.Id);
}

Hope this helps.

Thank you. I've been looking for some time and trying all sorts of things that didn't work. This is perfect.
