Connect pipes

[sanjaymann]

Hi,

I want to connect two pipes similar to trim tool in revit.

How do I programatically call trim command. 

Thanks & Regards

Diidn't understand what was googled for me.

A simple question I have two pipes pipe1 and pipe2

Neither of them works successfully to connect two pies:

1. doc.Create.NewElbowFitting(c1end,c2start);

2.c1end.ConnectTo(c2start);

c1end is the connctor of pipe1 and c2start is the connector of pipe2

What happens if you connect them manually in the user interface?

[sanjaymann]

They simply get connected.

Good. Your solution 2. should produce the same result.

[sanjaymann]

No it does not.

Well, it did for me, in all kinds of different permutations:

• Calculating a Rolling Offset Between Two Pipes
• Creating a Rolling Offset Pipe Between Two Pipes
• Connecting the Rolling Offset Pipe to its Neighbour Pipes
• Explicitly Placing Rolling Offset Elbow Fittings
• Simpler Rolling Offset Using NewElbowFitting
• Final Rolling Offset Using Pipe.Create

Maybe you can spot the difference?

The image below will clarify things:

Tried: 

try
{
c1end.ConnectTo(c2start);
Command.doc.Create.NewElbowFitting(c1end, c2start);

}
catch (Exception sdq)
{

MessageBox.Show(sdq.Message.ToString());
}

Tried Thsi:

try
{
Command.doc.Create.NewElbowFitting(c1end, c2start);

}
catch (Exception sdq)
{

MessageBox.Show(sdq.Message.ToString());
}

 tried this

try
{
c1end.ConnectTo(c2start);

}
catch (Exception sdq)
{

MessageBox.Show(sdq.Message.ToString());
}

But it creates the fittings between pipes in one place but not at the other.

Where you able to solve this at any point? I'm having the exact same problem and cannot find a solution.

Any updated information on this would be greatly appreciated. I'm going down the same road.
