Can I hide the outline of a Cylinder / Elbow?

JGoode — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 14:24:47 GMT

Hi,

I've created a grab rail using a series of cylinders and elbows. I'd really like to hide the outlines where the cylinders and elbows join. Is this possible?

Many thanks

No, I think this is not possible. You can use the TUBE command instead, there are no connection lines.

You can use solid elements operations to hide junctions.

dim groups[] !create groupnames for i= 1 to 5 groups[i]="cylind"+str("%.0m",i) group groups[i] addz (i-1)*5 cylind 5,1 del 1 endgroup next i result_cylinds=groups[1] !first group for i=2 to vardim1(groups) result_cylinds=addgroup(result_cylinds,groups[i]) next i placegroup result_cylinds killgroup result_cylinds for i=1 to vardim1(groups) killgroup groups[i] next i
