No, the connectors come from two different groups: Round and Oval.
There are ITMs that allow for the connection between the two when doing ductwork. What are you trying to connect?
There may be a way to use a zero or very small length object but it depends if this would be a valid connection in the real world.

Hello,
I am trying to connect round duct to oval duct but am having connector issues. First of all, is this even possible? I don't see a way to switch C1/C2 from round to oval in the drop down menu and when I change it manually, it changes red and will go blank when I save the ITM.
I am working in Revit 2025 and managing the database in CADmep 2023.

The problem is fixed. Now, I can use Visual Studio 2022 to connect to Big Data in Stratus, and I can use queries to browse data in Big Data.
I believe the key is to click "Rebuild Data" button, and then wait for one hour for data to be synchronized. I might not have waited long enough for one hour for the data to be synchronized.
As long as I got Server ID, Database ID, and SQL User and Password, I can connect to Big Data.
Liz Fong from Stratus helped me with this one - especially the "wait one hour requirement".

Kind of a hack job, but if you put a dependency on the height dimension you can get the result you are looking for: stretch will reduce down but not increase past max height. See attached example with 48" max length.
This does exactly what I need it to do. Thank you for your wisdom, AN-detail! I had no idea the dependency assignment was a feature, or rather it's intended use. I'm close to 8 years in and still learning every day. As long as it doesn't interfere with how lengths are read in our automation tools, I will absolutely be rolling with this.

Considering I've seen this issue at more than one place, I'm sure this has been asked before and my search skills have been found lacking.
For this, I apologize. I'm going to ask anyway.
You've got some gored round elbows or offsets and one end needs to be bead and crimp while the other raw. Pretty standard situation. It would be preferable to only input one "diameter" into the fitting (so something like CID 61) and then just have a connector for BC and one for Raw. The shop knows to crimp the one side.
However, the shop eventually requests that the bead and crimp side be undersized a little bit to facilitate the fit. No problem, you can either set the connector to Diameter Adjust, or Effective Diameter that automatically makes that adjustment for you (in respectively different ways, granted).
However, Diameter Adjust on the BC end but not the raw end will cause invalid geometry, because the elbow sees two different diameters on a fitting that can only use one diameter. I'm less familiar with effective diameter, but it seems to allow both connectors, but it assumes the actual diameter for the whole fitting based on the first end?
For now, there's a BC and a BC raw connector that we have. The former does the diameter adjust and the latter doesn't. But I could write a script that recognizes the existence of a BC raw fitting and it will:
- LoadFamily and replace with a reducing version of the fitting
- Swap BC raw on end one to just BC, now that it is on a pattern that can make the whole thing work.
OR, I can avoid writing yet-another black box script that obfuscates all institutional knowledge and try to find a software configuration that handles it better. Hence, this post. Any help is appreciated.

The issue is resolved after discussing this with Stratus. Liz Fong from Stratus is very helpful. She figured out all the issues for me. Basically, I need to know these:
1. Property and Field are two different things. They need to work with in two different ways.
2. The property or the field must be marked as "Editable". This sounds very obvious _after_ I was told.
3. The property or the field must NOT be an expression. It has to be a basic data type.
4. I can refer to a "property" using the property name directly as the key in /v2/part/{id}/property. However, I cannot refer to a "field" using its field name. I have to find out the ID of the field using the web service /v1/company/fields, and then use the field ID as the key in /v2/part/{id}/field.
Of course, I need to apply the AppKey to be authorized to use Open-API before I do anything.

We do the same with file extension. We have .NC for metal machine and .VNC for our Vicon Waterjet insulation cutter. We us one MAJ for unlined and SW lined. Or 2 MAJ for DW duct.

So the 910 i run just honors the number in the "height" property. I leave it unlocked and can stetch it wherever and it wont grow more than that number.
