Parameters

document
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Document
The document.
ductTypeId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..ElementId
The ElementId of the new duct type.
levelId
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..ElementId
The level id for the new duct.
startConnector
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..Connector
The first connector where the new duct starts.
endPoint
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB..::..XYZ
The second point of the new duct.

Return Value

The created duct.

Remarks

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

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions..::..ArgumentException The duct type ductTypeId is not valid duct type. -or- The ElementId levelId is not a Level. -or- The connector's domain is not Domain.​DomainHvac. -or- The points of startConnector and endPoint 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 duct fails to connect with the connector.
