- pipeTypeId ElementId
- The ElementId of the pipe type.

Exceptions
Exception | Condition |
---|---|
ArgumentException | The systemTypeId is not valid piping system type. -or- The pipe type pipeTypeId is not valid pipe type. -or- The ElementId levelId is not a Level. -or- The points of startPoint and endPoint are too close: for MEPCurve, the minimum length is 1/10 inch. |
ArgumentNullException | A non-optional argument was null |
Example
C#
