Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBDocument
The document.
systemTypeId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBElementId
The id of the piping system type.
pipeTypeId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBElementId
The id of the flexible pipe.
levelId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBElementId
The level id for the flexible pipe.
startTangent
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBXYZ
The tangent vector at the start of the curve. The invalid or zero vector is ignored.
endTangent
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBXYZ
The tangent vector at the end of the curve. The invalid or zero vector is ignored.
points
Type: System.Collections.GenericIListXYZ
The point array indicating the path of the flexible pipe, including the end point.

Return Value

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

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentException The systemTypeId is not valid piping system type. -or- The type pipeTypeId is not valid flexible pipe type. -or- The ElementId levelId is not a Level. -or- The valid number of points is less than two. In order to create a flex curve, at least two points are required. Note the duplicate points don't take into account.
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
Autodesk.Revit.ExceptionsDisabledDisciplineException None of the following disciplines is enabled: Mechanical Electrical Piping.
