why follow Error "curve must be in the plane"

   Dim application As Autodesk.Revit.ApplicationServices.Application = document.Application
   Dim startPoint As New XYZ(0, 0, 0)
   Dim endPoint As New XYZ(10, 10, 0)
   Dim geomLine As Line = Line.CreateBound(startPoint, endPoint)
   Dim end0 As New XYZ(1, 0, 0)
   Dim end1 As New XYZ(10, 10, 10)
   Dim pointOnCurve As New XYZ(10, 0, 0)
   Dim geomArc As Arc = Arc.Create(end0, end1, pointOnCurve)
   Dim origin As New XYZ(0, 0, 0)
   Dim normal As New XYZ(1, 1, 0)
  Dim geomPlane As Plane = Plane.CreateByNormalAndOrigin(normal, origin)
   Dim sketch As SketchPlane = SketchPlane.Create(document, geomPlane)
   Dim line__1 As ModelLine = TryCast(document.Create.NewModelCurve(geomLine, sketch), ModelLine)

Hi @Anonymous ,

change the normal value to  Dim normal As New XYZ(0, 0, 1)

Thanks for support..

this did not work for me.

Is there something else that I should try?

Hi @lariasGHNFM ,

Please provide us with a non-confidential sample code you used. It will help us figure out what's going wrong.

Yes, totally agree. Also, a few words explaining what you are trying to achieve might help... Thx!

[lariasGHNFM]

Thank you for your reply, 

I got it to work by changing the normal XYZ(1,1,0)

to  XYZ(0,0,1) like you suggested.

in order to understand it I had to visualize the plane in Dynamo.

From the fact you say you need Dynamo to understand a plane with a normal direction of 0,0,1 it sounds like you would benefit from learning more about what defines a plane i.e. Normal and Origin.

Plane (geometry) - Wikipedia

If you are just putting numbers in to make it work then yes you will find a way to make it work for that situation, but do you understand how to make it work for all situations i.e. the curve that isn't bound to a plane with normal 0,0,1?

Dynamo is a great tool for me it has helped me understand a lot of geometry.. also building adaptive families has helped me understand planes. I still have a lot of learning to do. Can you give me suggestions on how to better understand and make it work for all situations?
