The Wiring/Piping setting is a line type selector on the Connection Point side of the Electrical, Plumbing, and Mechanical tabs in Settings is used by the Connect Rough-Ins tool.

The Connect Rough-Ins tool creates an arc between the rough-in and the connection point of the same rule.

To activate the Wiring button Kitchautomation_Settings_Inactive, you must specify at least (1) rough-in and a connection point. Otherwise there is nothing to connect.

Once you see the  Kitchautomation_Plus, click it to show the dropdown.

Here you can select a linetype that you have created in your Revit project. Do not use a linetype that is used for anything other than the Connect Rough-Ins tool.

When the Connect Rough-In tool is used, it deletes all lines of the specified linetype and then replaces them with new arcs. For this reason, you should not use this line type for anything else in your project otherwise it will get deleted when you use the Connect Rough-Ins tool.
