Hi All,

Thanks Manel\_Fernandez for the post on creating Pipe from CAD.

> Hi there, I’ve modified this python script in order to create ducts from a cad file and now it works. Now I would like to do the same but with pipes. The thing is that I should change at least the line 40 and 31: Ducttype = IN[3] doc.Create.NewDuct(x, y, Ducttype) Could somebody tell me the correct command and parameters for pipes? thks

I followed the steps while everything was great until I bump onto the Python error.

I need help on line 38.

Please refer to the screenshots below.

Thanks

You’re missing the Level Id on that line

It is not considered a connector. There are two other methods Create(Document, ElementId, ElementId, Connector, Connector) and Create(Document, ElementId, ElementId, Connector, XYZ) which use 5 parameters. Since you were feeding only five the API interpreted it like that.
