获取墙的一个侧面，并且将上的点坐标转换到XOY面在墙侧面上的坐标系

 

一个客户问在Revit 2011上如何获得一个墙的侧面，而且把侧面坐标转到XOY平面在墙面上的坐标系。 对于同一个墙（长宽高相同）， 任意旋转墙至不同的角度，获取的坐标值是相同的。

 

我的一篇博客也提到Revit 2012 提供的HostObjUtils类的方法，可以用HostObjUtils.GetSideFaces() 来快速获取侧面。

Revit 2011 没有提供HostObjUtils 类，所以只能是逐个遍历墙上的几何体，面，线。  这个方法在2012，2013仍然适用，不过需要写更多的代码。

 

下面是完整的一个例子获取选定的墙的侧面，并且获取这个面上的Edge的在XOY是墙面的坐标系下的向量。 另一个看点是如何做坐标转换，演示了如何使用Transform类。

 

下面是VB代码，这段代码只能针对直线型的墙。

        Next

        TaskDialog.Show("pts", ptString)

        Return Result.Succeeded
    End Function
End Class

显示的结果如下。可以看到墙的角度不同，但是得到的结果是完全一样的。
