Does the functionality you require place a tap?

Here are two posts on that:

• Splitting with Taps -- http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2014/02/daylighting-extension-and-splitting-with-taps.html
• Using Routing Preferences to Select and Place a Tap -- http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2016/08/using-routing-preferences-to-select-and-place-a-tap...

Cheers,

Alternatively, there is also ConnectTo which just requires that you have identified both connectors.

Find the two connectors within their connector managers. ConnectTo comes straight from the connector itself.

If you call the pipe connector pipeConnector and the heater connector heaterConnector:

pipeConnector.ConnectTo(heaterConnector);

It won't draw any routing between the connectors, but it will establish a connection. I use this when I know that the connectors are reasonably close (usually doing a distance check between the two and making sure it's within 1/8" or so).
