Connection parameters
From AC29, these parameters can be set from the Edit Connection Settings dialog which can be opened for a specific port from the pet palette. This feature is not available for routes, branch elements and flexible segments.
| ConStatus_n | boolean |
| Status of the connection identified by the index after the underscore (marked by letter n in the parameter name). If this boolean is set to false, the connection becomes disabled, and other related parameters of this connection become disabled. When this parameter is set from Archicad, the GDL should set the new value into MEP_NumConnectionData.Maximum value of n is 18. |
|
| ConSystem_n | string |
| MEP System of the connection identified by the index after the underscore (marked by letter n in the parameter name). MEP Systems can be created, edited or deleted in the MEP Systems Dialog in Archicad. These systems are identified by their name, and are available for certain domains (ductwork, pipework, cable tray). Several MEP operations require the coincidence of the MEP Systems of the elements. When this parameter is set from Archicad, the GDL should set the new value into MEP_StrConnectionData.Maximum value of n is 18. |
|
| ConType_n | string |
| Shape type of the connection identified by the index after the underscore (marked by letter n in the parameter name). The shape of the connection can be rectangular, circular or oval. Some objects allow only a specific shape for their ports, while some connection can be of all three types. When this parameter is set from Archicad, the GDL should set the new value into MEP_StrConnectionData.Maximum value of n is 18. |
|
| ConConnectorType_n | string |
| Connector type of the connection identified by the index after the underscore (marked by letter n in the parameter name). The connector type shows whether the connection has a flange or it is simple (welded). When this parameter is set from Archicad, the GDL should set the new value into MEP_StrConnectionData.Maximum value of n is 18. |
|
| ConWidth_n | length |
| Width of the connection identified by the index after the underscore (marked by letter n in the parameter name). When this parameter is set from Archicad, the GDL should set the new value into MEP_NumConnectionData.Maximum value of n is 18. |
|
| ConDepth_n | length |
| Depth of the connection identified by the index after the underscore (marked by letter n in the parameter name). When this parameter is set from Archicad, the GDL should set the new value into MEP_NumConnectionData.Maximum value of n is 18. |

MEP request related parameters
| MEP_RequestBased | boolean |
| Since AC29 some MEP elements use requests instead of parameters to get the necessary information from Arhcicad. If this parameter exists and is set to true, then the MEP element works this way. |
