Connector Class

A connector in an Autodesk Revit MEP project document.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 24.0.0.0 (24.0.0.0)

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
