Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Plumbing Class: Pipe

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

Method

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

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

levelId	ElementId	The level id for the new pipe.
startConnector	Connector	The first connector where the new pipe starts.
endPoint	XYZ	The second point of the new pipe.

Type	Description
Pipe	The pipe.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	The pipe type pipeTypeId is not valid pipe type. -or- The ElementId levelId is not a Level. -or- The connector domain is not Domain.Piping. -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
