Hi!
I've made the upper volume in the image (the "wall") with the TUBE command, but as seen in the picture the meeting of the start and end of the tube doesn't show lines. I've tried changing the mask, but then I also get a line on top of the volume.
Does anyone have good ideas on how to make this have the appearance of standard wall. Is there perhaps a better command than TUBE for this kind of shape?
Thank you!

In these cases I do not connect the tubes ends at the corner. Instead I connect them in the middle of a straight part. So the corner will have lines as all other corners and the connection point has no lines.

The start lines are mask j5 (16) and the end lines are mask j6 (32) - so these need to be allowed in the total mask value.
I usually write ... 1*0 + 2*0 + 16*0 + 32*0 + 64*0 + 128*0 ... for the mask and then just change the zeros to ones as I need them - or just experiment turning them on or off.
So you would need at least .... 1*0 + 2*0 + 16*1 + 32*1 + 64*0 + 128*0

Hi!
But that gives a line on top of the shape. Is there anyway to eliminate that line?
Thank you!
