Syntax

C#
public static Conduit Create(
	Document document,
	ElementId conduitType,
	XYZ startPoint,
	XYZ endPoint,
	ElementId levelId
)
Visual Basic
Public Shared Function Create ( _
	document As Document, _
	conduitType As ElementId, _
	startPoint As XYZ, _
	endPoint As XYZ, _
	levelId As ElementId _
) As Conduit
Visual C++
public:
static Conduit^ Create(
	Document^ document, 
	ElementId^ conduitType, 
	XYZ^ startPoint, 
	XYZ^ endPoint, 
	ElementId^ levelId
)

Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBDocument
The document.
conduitType
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBElementId
The conduit type. This must be a conduit type accepted by isValidConduitType(). If the input conduit type is InvalidElementId, the default conduit type from the document will be used.
startPoint
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBXYZ
The start point of the conduit location line.
endPoint
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBXYZ
The end point of the conduit location line.
levelId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DBElementId
The element id of the level which this conduit based. If the input level id is invalidElementId = -1, the nearest level will be used.

Return Value

The newly created conduit.

Remarks

This method will regenerate the document.
