Provides a simple and affective way of joining two Items of duct or pipe that are distances apart. The command prompts the selection of duct/pipe ends to be joined, then presents the user with possible solutions for joining the Items, including the totals for Weight, Area, Installations Time and Cost for each solution.
The Fill Between 2 Ends command uses the Items available from the currently selected service. They should be certified to prevent the user being prompted for sizes etc. If the Items are not certified the user must click OK to each item's Edit dialog.
When using the Fill, Items are automatically sourced in the order they are displayed. If there are two bend Items i.e. Radius and Mitred, the first Item in the Service is used. There is the option to exclude any of the Service Items from the Fill, refer to the Exclude from Fill option.
For 2.41 or latest versions, the Fill Between 2 Ends button 
initially prompts which method to use:
Click No to use the older Fill Between 2 Ends.

Fill Examples
Duct/Pipe - Items positioned 90o to each other on the XY Plane, there is difference in the Z height between the connector nodes and the end sizes are the same. Other angles are supported, but this depends on the Service selected and the available products.
The number of solutions provided can be affected by the distances between the open ends, shorter distances may not allow the placement of all available fittings. E.g., if the fill routine to consider placing 60o bends rather than 90o, the distance between open ends may need to be increased.
Electrical - Ends are parallel to to each other on the XY Plane, there is a difference in the Z height between the connector nodes and the end sizes are the same.
Single Fittings - Ends are parallel to each other on the XY Plane: there is a difference in the Z height between the connector nodes and the duct end sizes are different: a transition is required and will be offsetting in 2 directions.
