Syntax

C# 
public static StructuralConnectionHandler Create(
	Document document,
	IList<ElementId> idsToConnect,
	ElementId typeId,
	IList<ConnectionInputPoint> additionalInputPoints
)
Visual Basic 
Public Shared Function Create ( _
	document As Document, _
	idsToConnect As IList(Of ElementId), _
	typeId As ElementId, _
	additionalInputPoints As IList(Of ConnectionInputPoint) _
) As StructuralConnectionHandler
Visual C++ 
public:
static StructuralConnectionHandler^ Create(
	Document^ document, 
	IList<ElementId^>^ idsToConnect, 
	ElementId^ typeId, 
	IList<ConnectionInputPoint^>^ additionalInputPoints
)

Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB Document
The Revit document.
idsToConnect
Type: System.Collections.Generic IList ElementId
List of element ids of connected elements.
typeId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB ElementId
The type of Structural Connection Handler.
additionalInputPoints
Type: System.Collections.Generic IList ConnectionInputPoint
The array of points that help define the connection.

Return Value

The newly created connection.

Remarks

Elements should be of the following structural categories: framings (OST_StructuralFraming), columns (OST_StructuralColumns), walls (OST_Walls), floors (OST_Floors) or foundations (OST_StructuralFoundations). The first of given elements is set as primary one. The placement of the connection takes into account the additional definition points.
