The Tube Tool
The
Tube tool
(see the options in
Figure 2-11
)
acts a bit like the Cylinder tool, with individual segments ad-
ded by clicking in space. Each click in the viewports adds another node to the tube. The position coordinates
are specific to the current point that is indicated on the screen in yellow (all other points appear in blue).
You can go back and adjust previously plotted points by simple clicking on them. New points will be added
after the current point, so if you have made some changes to previous points, make sure you have reselected
the last point before continuing—unless, of course, you want to add additional points between the ones you
have previously plotted. The Mode defaults to Add, which lets you place points at will and adjust points if
you click directly on them.
