The script is working, however when tube path changes in more than one axis at a time (eg bend 90º to the right and onto a 45º incline) it becomes distorted, twisting away from the path (shown in red).<BR /> <BR /> The TubeA command doesn't have this problem. However as it generates the tube from the profile at each joint, meaning the tube changes width along each segment. I've attached a basic version of object with the two tube commands.<BR /> <BR /> Is there any way to get the best of both worlds, a consistent section along a path that changes in all 3 axis? <BR /> <BR /> <IMG src="http://i42.tinypic.com/2zf6b2x.jpg" /></R></DIV> Thu, 02 Jan 2014 06:17:43 GMT Lachlan Green 2014-01-02T06:17:43Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Tube-Distortion/m-p/118637#M12932 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><R>Hello everyone. <BR /> <BR /> Hope you all had a great start to the New Year. <BR /> <BR /> I have been trying to use the Tube and TubeA commands to generate a profile following a path that changes along all 3 axis.
