A connector in an Autodesk Revit MEP project document.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 2015.0.0.0 (2015.0.0.0)

Syntax

C#
`public class Connector : IConnector, IDisposable`

Visual Basic
`Public Class Connector _ Implements IConnector, IDisposable`

Visual C++
`public ref class Connector : IConnector, IDisposable`

Remarks

This connector is an item that is a part of another element (duct, pipe, fitting, or equipment etc.). This connector does not represent the connector element that can be created inside a family; for that element, refer to ConnectorElement .

Examples

Copy C#

public void GetElementAtConnector(Autodesk.Revit.DB.Connector connector)
{
    MEPSystem mepSystem = connector.MEPSystem;
    if (null != mepSystem)

        if (connector.IsConnected == true)
