Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Mechanical Class: Duct

Duct.Create(Document, ElementId, ElementId, Connector, XYZ)

Method

Description:
Creates a new duct that connects to the connector.

Remarks:
The new duct will have the same diameter and system type as the specified connector. The creation will also connect the new duct to the component who owns the specified connector. If necessary, additional fitting(s) are included to make a valid connection. If the new duct can not be connected to the next component (e.g., mismatched direction, no valid fitting, and etc), the new duct will still be created at the specified connector position, and an InvalidOperationException is thrown.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
document	Document	The document.
ductTypeId	ElementId	The ElementId of the new duct type.
levelId	ElementId	The level id for the new duct.
startConnector	Connector	The first connector where the new duct starts.
endPoint	XYZ	The second point of the new duct.

Return Value

Type	Description
Duct	The created duct.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The duct type ductTypeId is not valid duct type. -or- The ElementId levelId is not a Level. -or- The connector's domain is not Domain.â€‹DomainHvac. -or- The points of startConnector and endPoint are too close: for MEPCurve, the minimum length is 1/10 inch.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
InvalidOperationException	Thrown when the new duct fails to connect with the connector.
