Creates a new instance of a Structural Connection Handler with a generic type, which defines the connection between given elements.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 21.0.0.0 (21.1.1.109)
Since:  2021

Syntax

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

Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Document
The Revit document.
idsToConnect
Type: System.Collections.Generic..::..IList<(Of <(<'ElementId>)>)>
The list of element ids of connected elements.

Return Value

The newly created generic 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 the primary one. A generic connection type will be created by default, if there is none present in the model.
