Return Value

The pipe.

Examples

CopyC#
public static Pipe CreateNewPipe(Document document, ElementId systemTypeId, ElementId levelId)
{
    // find a pipe type

    FilteredElementCollector collector = new FilteredElementCollector(document);
    collector.OfClass(typeof(PipeType));
    PipeType pipeType = collector.FirstElement() as PipeType;

    Pipe pipe = null;
    if (null != pipeType)
    {
        // create pipe between 2 points
        XYZ p1 = new XYZ(0, 0, 0);
        XYZ p2 = new XYZ(10, 0, 0);

        pipe = Pipe.Create(document, systemTypeId, pipeType.Id, levelId, p1, p2);
    }

    return pipe;
}
CopyVB.NET

    ' find a pipe type


    Dim collector As New FilteredElementCollector(document)
    collector.OfClass(GetType(PipeType))
    Dim pipeType As PipeType = TryCast(collector.FirstElement(), PipeType)

    Dim pipe__1 As Pipe = Nothing
    If pipeType IsNot Nothing Then
        ' create pipe between 2 points
        Dim p1 As New XYZ(0, 0, 0)
        Dim p2 As New XYZ(10, 0, 0)

        pipe__1 = Pipe.Create(document, systemTypeId, pipeType.Id, levelId, p1, p2)
    End If
