	Document document,
	ElementId pipeTypeId,
	ElementId levelId,
	Connector startConnector,
	Connector endConnector

	Document^ document, 
	ElementId^ pipeTypeId,

Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Document
The document.
pipeTypeId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..ElementId
The ElementId of the new pipe type.
levelId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..ElementId
The level ElementId for the new pipe.
startConnector
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Connector
The first connector where the new pipe starts.
endConnector
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Connector
The second point of the new pipe.

Return Value

The pipe.

Remarks

The new pipe will have the same diameter and system type as the start connector. The creation will also connect the new pipe to two component who owns the specified connectors. If necessary, additional fitting(s) are included to make a valid connection. If the new pipe can not be connected to the next component (e.g., mismatched direction, no valid fitting, and etc), the new pipe will still be created at the specified connector position, and an InvalidOperationException is thrown.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ArgumentException The pipe type pipeTypeId is not valid pipe type. -or- The ElementId levelId is not a Level. -or- The connector domain is not Domain.Piping. -or- The points of startConnector and endConnector are too close: for MEPCurve, the minimum length is 1/10 inch.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was NULL
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..DisabledDisciplineException None of the following disciplines is enabled: Mechanical Electrical Piping.
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..InvalidOperationException Thrown when the new pipe fails to connect with the connector.
