Derived from: BIMConnectorDefinition Object

Description

BIMPipeConnectorDefinition object.

Methods

Name Description
ReverseDirection Method that will reverse the direction of the connection.
SetShape Method that used to set the shape of the connector.

Properties

Name Description
AllowSlopeAdjustment

Application Returns the top-level parent application object. When used the context of Inventor, an Application object is returned. When used in the context of Apprentice, an ApprenticeServer object is returned.
ConnectionType
ConnectorShape Read-only property that specifies the shape of the connector. To change the shape, use the SetShape method.
Description
DescriptionParameter
Diameter

Read-only property that provides access to the connector diameter. When the BIMPipeConnectorDefinition object has been created using the CreateBIMPipeConnectorDefinition method, this property returns a Double indicating the diameter, (in centimeters), of the connector as defined by the input geometry. After the definition object has been used to create a connector, this property returns a parameter that defines the diameter of the connector.

To change the diameter of an existing connector you can either edit the geometry that’s controlling the diameter or set the override diameter using the DiameterOverride property.

DiameterOverride
Direction Read-only property that indicates the direction of the connection. This property will return Nothing in the case where a valid set of referenced geometries have not yet been defined.

Geometry Read-only property that gets the geometry that defines the shape of the connection. The returned collection is independent of the connector and any changes made to the contents of the collection will not affect the connector. To change the geometry or the shape of the connector use the SetShape method.

NominalDiameter
Origin Read-only property that returns the origin of the connector.
Parent Property that returns the parent BIMConnector that this definition is associated with. If the definition was created using one of the Create methods this property will return Nothing since the definition isn’t associated with a connector yet.
SystemType
Type Returns an ObjectTypeEnum indicating this object's type.
