Parameters

point
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The first point of the pipe.
connector
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Connector
The connector to be connected to 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.

Remarks

If the connector is a fitting or equipment connector of the correct domain, and if the connector's direction matches the direction of the pipe to be created, the connectors will be automatically connected. A transition fitting will be added at the connector if necessary. If the connector's type, domain, or direction does not match the direction of the duct to be created, the position of the input connector will govern the endpoints of the pipe, but no connection will be established.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentNullException Thrown when the input argument point or connector is a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) .
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions InvalidOperationException Thrown when the pipe cannot be created or regenerate fails.
