Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
baseEquipmentConnector	Connector	One connector within base equipment which is used to connect with the system. The base equipment is optional for the system, so this argument may be <span class="keyword"><span data-languagespecifictext="cpp=nullptr\|vb=Nothing\|nu=null" id="LSTEF520298_1"></span></span>. The baseEquipmentConnector should not be included in the connectors.
connectors	ConnectorSet	Connectors that will connect to the system. The owner elements of these connectors will be added into system as its elements.
pipingSystemType	PipeSystemType	The System type.

Return Value

PipingSystem	If creation was successful then an instance of piping system is returned, otherwise an exception with information will be thrown.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
InvalidOperationException	Thrown when calling this function outside of the Autodesk Revit MEP product.
ArgumentNullException	Thrown when the connectors parameter value is.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	Thrown when the pipingSystemType parameter value is out of permitted scope.
ArgumentException	Thrown when some connectors can't be used to create the mechanical system. All the input connectors and base equipment connector should match system type and domain with the system, and they should not have been used in another system.
InvalidOperationException	Thrown when the piping system creation failed.
