NewCrossFitting nondescriptive exception thrown

Anonymous — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 23:58:24 GMT

I am attempting to create a cross fitting by calling Owner.Document.Create.NewCrossFItting, passing in 4 connectors to pipes that are on the same plane and lie along orthogonal lines. I've verified that the connectors are all at the same point.

When I try to call NewCrossFitting, an InvalidOperationException is thrown, with a message stating the obvious:

"failed to insert cross"

Are there many scenarios where this exception can be thrown, or does it have one specific meaning? If the former, is there a way to make a feature request of the revit developers to write exception descriptions that aren't totally useless?

Dear Davex,

Please excuse this ultra-late reply.

I finally discovered and published the answer on The Building Coder:

Better late than never, I hope!

Cheers,
