Summary
The CP_TUBE command generates a 3D solid tube by defining the center point, inner radius, outer radius, and height. This command is useful for creating hollow cylindrical shapes commonly needed in mechanical and architectural designs.
CADPower -> Draw Tools -> Geometry -> Tube
Key features include:
- Customizable Dimensions: Specify the inner and outer radii to control the wall thickness of the tube, as well as the height for the desired length.
- 3D Solid Creation: Produces a 3D solid tube, allowing for easy integration into complex 3D models and further operations like boolean subtraction or union.
- Center Point Definition: Start the tube at a specified center point for precise placement within the drawing.
The CP_TUBE command is ideal for CAD users needing to create tubular shapes, providing an efficient method for defining hollow cylindrical 3D solids with customizable dimensions.
