	XYZ point2,
	PipeType pipeType
)
Visual Basic 
<ObsoleteAttribute("This method is obsolete in Revit 2015. Please use Pipe.Create() instead.")> _
Public Function NewPipe ( _

public:
Pipe^ NewPipe(
	XYZ^ point1, 
	XYZ^ point2, 
	PipeType^ pipeType
)

Parameters

point1
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The first point of the pipe.
point2
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The second point of the pipe.
pipeType
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Plumbing PipeType
The type of the pipe.

Return Value

If creation was successful then a new pipe is returned, otherwise an exception with failure information will be thrown.
