Create.NewFloor retruns Error curves do not form a closed loop

Hello,

Goal
what I was trying to do is a floor via revit API but returns with an error :cry:

Backgorund
it is dynamo 2.0 in Revit 2019 no third pakages…

error
““Exception: The curves do not form a closed contiguous loop.
Parameter name: curves””

workflow
create 4 point > create 4 lines (to create a rectangle) > call Create.NewFloor (in the first argument, I have converted the revitgeometry )

could you please support me :slight_smile: or pointing to the correct documentation

Thank you

Hello and welcome :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you… for that :slight_smile: I would like to ask you where and how did you find it?

Semantically speaking, that means that a list of the concatenated curves doesn’t mean a polycure… Well, good to know, thank you!!!

@g.claudio.scarafini
Creation.Document.NewFloor() method need consecutive curves (with the same direction)
PolyCurve.ByJoinedCurves() and polycurve.Curves() methods are perfect for this case
