Pipe.Create

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.

Document

document

The document.
ElementId

pipeTypeId

The ElementId of the new pipe type.
ElementId

levelId

The level id for the new pipe.
Connector

startConnector

The first connector where the new pipe starts.
XYZ

endPoint

The second point of the new pipe.

Return Value Pipe The pipe.

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
