Revit .NET API 2017 introduces the Plane.CreateByNormalAndOrigin(XYZ norm, XYZ origin) static method, which seems to replace the old Plane.Plane(XYZ norm, XYZ origin) .
Except for its name being so long this time (supposing its a benefit for API names), no any other benefits or changes at all. Oh!
Does it look a trend to do things like this? What about thousands of other similar methods then?
For example:
NewFamilyInstance Method (XYZ, FamilySymbol, Element, Level, StructuralType)
publicFamilyInstanceNewFamilyInstance(XYZlocation,FamilySymbolsymbol,Elementhost,Levellevel,StructuralTypestructuralType ) |
Will it become CreateFamilyInstanceByLocationFamilySymbolHostLevelAndStructuralType(...) some day? Oh, My Dear!
