How to create an element along a path using an arbitrary profile?

[SerafinaM]

I attempted to generate a solid object by following a designated path while utilizing a profile of my choosing. The build completed successfully without any errors. But I am unable to open the ifc file that was created. This is the code I used:

private static IfcFixedReferenceSweptAreaSolid CreateWindowBody1(IfcStore model, double height, double width){
         double ext_width = 50;
         double ext_thick = 30;
    var pointList_frame = model.Instances.New<IfcCartesianPointList3D>(pl =>
    {
        pl.CoordList.GetAt(0).AddRange(new IfcLengthMeasure[] { 0, 0, 0 });
        pl.CoordList.GetAt(1).AddRange(new IfcLengthMeasure[] { 0, ext_thick, 0 });
        pl.CoordList.GetAt(2).AddRange(new IfcLengthMeasure[] { ext_width, ext_thick, 0 });
        pl.CoordList.GetAt(3).AddRange(new IfcLengthMeasure[] { ext_width, 0, 0 });
    });
        var arbitraryProf = model.Instances.New<IfcArbitraryProfileDefWithVoids>();
    var frameCurve = model.Instances.New<IfcIndexedPolyCurve>();
    frameCurve.Points = pointList_frame;

    arbitraryProf.OuterCurve = frameCurve;
         // Create a new IfcFixedReferenceSweptAreaSolid instance
    var fixedReferenceSweptAreaSolid = model.Instances.New<IfcFixedReferenceSweptAreaSolid>();
         // Create the swept path (line)
    var line = model.Instances.New<IfcPolyline>();
    line.Points.Add(model.Instances.New<IfcCartesianPoint>(p => p.SetXYZ(0, 0, 0))); 
    line.Points.Add(model.Instances.New<IfcCartesianPoint>(p => p.SetXYZ(0, 0, 1500)));
    line.Points.Add(model.Instances.New<IfcCartesianPoint>(p => p.SetXYZ(0, 500, 1500)));
    line.Points.Add(model.Instances.New<IfcCartesianPoint>(p => p.SetXYZ(0, 500, 0)));
        // Set the swept area and path for the FixedReferenceSweptAreaSolid
    fixedReferenceSweptAreaSolid.Directrix = line;
    fixedReferenceSweptAreaSolid.SweptArea = rectangleProfileDef;
        return fixedReferenceSweptAreaSolid;
}

I added ifc file that was created. Thanks in advance. TestElement.txt

You create IFCARBITRARYPROFILEDEFWITHVOIDS, but then you actually don't assign it anywhere. More importantly, every profile needs to be 2D. The rule is defined in the schema:

WHERE
  WR1 : OuterCurve.Dim = 2;

Just leave out the Z coordinate from the point list:

var pointList_frame = model.Instances.New<IfcCartesianPointList3D>(pl =>
{
    pl.CoordList.GetAt(0).AddRange(new IfcLengthMeasure[] { 0, 0});
    pl.CoordList.GetAt(1).AddRange(new IfcLengthMeasure[] { 0, ext_thick});
    pl.CoordList.GetAt(2).AddRange(new IfcLengthMeasure[] { ext_width, ext_thick});
    pl.CoordList.GetAt(3).AddRange(new IfcLengthMeasure[] { ext_width, 0});
});
