Place existing air terminal to duct

I am having this issue as i want to place existing unhosted air terminal to the duct, any revit api method can achieve this, online has a lot of references is discussing about create new mechanical system but in my case, I already have one duct and air terminal, i just want to connect both of them together. But I could not find any api or sample that support this action

 

anyone can help on this?

Dear Jason Kee Hong Cheng,

 

Because you already have duct and air terminal placed, I think you just need to connect them via Revit API Connector.ConnectTo(Connector):

1: if the air terminal locates at ends of duct: iterate each connector of duct and then find appropriate corresponding connector of air termination(for example, find match connector via Connector.Origin).

2: if the air terminal needs to create elbow\tee fitting for duct, you have to split the duct and then create elbow\tee fitting, vertical duct and then connect appropriate vertical duct and air terminal.
