@T_Pover hello sir. if you dont mind can you share with me the whole tree for this 5pc air terminal and 5pc duct that is connected by a flexible duct. i am very new to dynamo and i tried to replicate the tree but i am having difficulties with the lowest code block that has this list. also i already downloaded the package MEPover. thank you in advance. and cheers to your great work. ---

Hi @DaddyVader_16, I’m afraid I no longer have that file so I cannot share it. What I would suggest is to first try to connect a single duct with a single air terminal and if you can get that to work then try multiple ducts with multiple air terminals. Set up a little test file for yourself and start testing: going from really easy to more complex. ---

I moved this to a new topic as that one was already solved and this felt as if it was branching off. @DaddyVader_16 fee free to link us back to any specifics on that thread which will help out. Specifically I think the graph in question (you referred to a 5pc air terminal and 5pc duct that is connected by a flexible duct). ---

thank you sir. as of now i still can’t get it to work. so above as you can see, i have this tree and i have a 5pc air terminal and a 5pc duct. i want to connect it via a flexible duct. can anyone help me solve this? i am very new to dynamo so it will be a big help for anyone to make me understand what am i missing or done wrong. thank you in advance. ---

Are you sure you have the input elements lined up properly? The first duct in your list of ducts needs to connect to the first air terminal in your list: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/c/e/ceac73af57c104d2234b9df49713609b4db3c0cc.png) ---

I see the problem: the connections on the ducts and air terminals are rectangular, so it would need a transition fittings from rectangular to round to create a round flex duct between them. I will see if I can incorporate this into the node. ---

thank you sir, i will also try to convert the air terminal’s connection into round. thank you again. [Next page](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/duct-connections/28626.md?page=2)
