Michael,

Could it be possible to have in the next version of MOI a quicker pipe creation tool : it means making a pipe from a curve or line and having a box who ask you inside diameter, outside diameter , color , etc .... without using a second profile. An exemple of this it is the very useful ruby script for Sketchup " pipe along path" .... I think this tool could change the productivity delay of architect/designer like me who work a lot with tubular frames ... and also for mechanical designer for tubulars car frame design .

To see the sketchup ruby script : http://www.suwiki.org/suwiki/index.php?title=Pipe_Along_Path_Tutorial

I dream too of a pipe tool who allow me to make a complete(complex) 3D rails/lines frame and transforms it in a global tubular frames in one push button?? Is it possible ??



Bye,

Pierre.
