Common Connector

Is there any way to find the common connector of two ducts? The purpose of this script is as follows. I need to split a lengthy duct into several pieces then i need to connect each other. I have another script to split the duct. i will use ConnectTo method to connect the ducts but i failed to filter the common connector. My code is as below:

import clr
import sys
sys.path.append('C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib')
import System
from System import Array
from System.Collections.Generic import *
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
clr.AddReference("RevitNodes")
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.GeometryConversion)
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager 
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager 

clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
clr.AddReference("RevitAPIUI")

import Autodesk 
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
from Autodesk.Revit.DB.Mechanical import *
from Autodesk.Revit.UI import *
import math

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
uiapp = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentUIApplication 
app = uiapp.Application 
uidoc = uiapp.ActiveUIDocument

	
el1 = UnwrapElement(IN[1])
el2 = UnwrapElement(IN[2])

consA = el1.ConnectorManager.Connectors
consB = el2.ConnectorManager.Connectors
conListA = []
for cna in consA:
	conListA.append(cna)
con1a = conListA[0] 	
con1b = conListA[1] 
conList = []
for cn in consB:
	conList.append(cn)
con2a = conList[0]
con2b = conList[1]				

co = conListA + conList

originList = []
for i in co:
	originList.append(i.Origin)
se = set(originList)	

#TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
#out = c[0].ConnectTo(c[1])			
#TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

	
OUT = conListA,conList,se

maybe convert the XYZ to DS point first, and then use:?

Hello, here an example


import clr
import sys
import System
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
import Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry as DS

#import Revit API
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
import Autodesk.Revit.DB as DB

#import transactionManager and DocumentManager (RevitServices is specific to Dynamo)
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

el1 = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
el2 = UnwrapElement(IN[1])

consetA = el1.ConnectorManager.Connectors
consetB = el2.ConnectorManager.Connectors
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
for conA in consetA:
	for conB in consetB:
		if not conA.IsConnectedTo(conB):
			# if conA.Origin.IsAlmostEqualTo(conB.Origin):
			# OR 
			if conA.Origin.DistanceTo(conB.Origin) < 0.01:
				conA.ConnectTo(conB)
				break
TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

Thank you so much. Its working. :ok_hand:
