Syntax
public static StructuralConnectionHandler CreateGenericConnection(
	Document document,
	IList<ElementId> idsToConnect
)
Public Shared Function CreateGenericConnection ( 
	document As Document,
	idsToConnect As IList(Of ElementId)
) As StructuralConnectionHandler
public:
static StructuralConnectionHandler^ CreateGenericConnection(
	Document^ document, 
	IList<ElementId^>^ idsToConnect
)
static member CreateGenericConnection : 
        document : Document * 
        idsToConnect : IList<ElementId> -> StructuralConnectionHandler

Parameters

document  Document
The Revit document.
idsToConnect  IListElementId
The list of element ids of connected elements.

Return Value

StructuralConnectionHandler
The newly created generic connection.
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
ArgumentException It verifies that we have at least one element id in the list.
ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
InvalidOperationException The document is in failure mode: an operation has failed, and Revit requires the user to either cancel the operation or fix the problem (usually by deleting certain elements).
ModificationForbiddenException The document is in failure mode: an operation has failed, and Revit requires the user to either cancel the operation or fix the problem (usually by deleting certain elements). -or- The document is being loaded, or is in the midst of another sensitive process.

Remarks
Elements should be of the following structural categories: framings (OST_StructuralFraming), columns (OST_StructuralColumns), walls (OST_Walls), floors (OST_Floors) or foundations (OST_StructuralFoundations). The first of given elements is set as the primary one. A generic connection type will be created by default, if there is none present in the model.
