PlumbingUtils.ConnectPipePlaceholdersAtCross(Document, Connector, Connector, Connector, Connector)

Method

Description:
Connects placeholders that looks like Cross connection.

Remarks:
The placeholders may or may not have physical connection. However a) The ends of four connectors should intersect at same point; b) the first and second placeholders should be collinear each other; c) the third and fourth placeholders should be collinear each other and d) the third and fourth should have intersection with first or second placeholder. If connection fails, the placeholders cannot be physically connected.
