I need to make a square column. I must use tube command but it just do nothing.

I would use a wall with a custom profile or read up on morph manipulation. Maybe some YouTube videos.

After clicking on the face, drag along your column base outline? But as Seneca brought up, is there a reason that I must be a morph?

I have to follow the training task and there is a certain sequence.

Thanks for reply.

The reason why I use this method is a training assignment. The problem is that when I use tube it works fine, but the last click just ends the manipulation with no result.

thanks for reply

Do not start and end at the corner. Start and end at the middle of the column side.

This is my problem. I'm doing the same thing as in the video. Screenshot didn't capture cursor the , but I use a magic wand and even a morph symbol appears and after click command just ends with no result

I haven't tested, but is it anything to do with the depth of your morph?

It is more than half the depth of the edge you are magic wanding.

So it will be trying to overlap itself in the middle.

Try reducing the depth of your morph first.

i dont think problem in depth. If i try tubing in oposite direction it works, it looks chaotic but it works.

I just tried and the depth has no effect.

It will just create a hole where it overlaps.

I had no trouble tubing around the base in either direction.

Just make sure the pint you use to activate the tube command is the point you want to stretch around.

This is not using the magic wand.

Select morph plane, click front corner and activate tube command from pet palette.

Stretch around base and back to where you started from.

I tried. Is there any parameters that can hide the result of tubing?

Re: Tube command doesnt work

Barry Kelly — Thu, 18 Nov 2021 06:46:20 GMT

Not that I can think of.

As soon as you click back on the starting point, the morph should complete.

What happens if you do not click back on the starting point.

Just click twice to form a short gap.

Does the morph appear then?

Or does that disappear too?

I have not seen this before.

What version of Archicad and what build number is it?

Barry.

Re: Tube command doesnt work

VasVac — Thu, 18 Nov 2021 08:08:13 GMT

It just cant be completed in starting point.

Re: Tube command doesnt work

VasVac — Thu, 18 Nov 2021 08:10:03 GMT

i have a student license.

Re: Tube command doesnt work

Barry Kelly — Thu, 18 Nov 2021 08:24:03 GMT

OK.

Make sure your Archicad version is up to date.

Check for updates in the HELP menu.

Barry Kelly — Thu, 18 Nov 2021 08:31:19 GMT

OK, so you can have a morph if there is a gap - so no problem seeing a morph.

Go to the selection tool and make sure the 'quick select' magnet is active.

Also choose the 'select sub-elements' option.

Now click on the side surface to select it.

Now drag from the bottom node and choose the tube command again.

Drag to close the morph (click twice on that close point).

Does the morph stay or disappear?

If it disappears, I have no idea why.

If it stays, I have no idea why this is any different to you tubing all the way around in the first place.

But at least you have your morph.

Don't forget to set your selection arrow back to normal (not sub-elements) or you will have trouble selecting things.

It worked! Doing it in two steps feels clumsy BUT PROBLEM SOLVED

Thanks Berry
