Add profile to a existing connection

How can I add a C profile to a revit existing connection.

Where do I have to add my profile so that it appears in the macro?

Thanks in advance

What is the connection name you are using?

Usually you need to click on the Arrow at the Start of the Field - it always has worked this way which is a little backward from Revit but ore of a Robot trait.

Hello Jay

Thanks for your help.

This is the connection name. I want to add a sleeve that I have created. It´s a profile C

How can I add it to the sleeve field?

My understanding is that the Connection Container works on a Databases and this in someway is linked to Advanced Steel and you can do it this way, there are lots of support threads where it gives advice on how to add to the Databases so you will need to look for these.

Personally I would use something already in the Library as I can see there is a C or other references.

Thank you very much, Jay

Can you indicate me a thread talking about add profiles to a database?

Here is an example, if you find anything with Rob Merriman this is a good source as he is linked to Advanced Steel.
