Extrude Pipe/Sweep through imported lines from csv

[haik.vasil.3]

I am looking for an extension to the wonderful script made by @hanskellner 

https://github.com/hanskellner/Fusion360ImportCSVPoints 

I am trying to extrude a Pipe through the imported Line. I have seen a script for just Pipe Extrusion, and little confused... It seems there is no Pipe command in API but only Sweep.

Hello,

Actually, you can only access existing Pipe feature with the API: PipeFeatures Object

However, a non-trivial and unofficial workaround exists: Use TextCommands

@JeromeBriot Thanks for the Reference! a great way around.

So what I understand Pipe command exists only as a Text command, right? Otherwise, I need to refer to the Sweep command, creating a construction Plane at each Line to draw a Profile and extrude...

Yes

Hi @haik.vasil.3 -

I've updated the add-in with support to create pipes.  See the README:

https://github.com/hanskellner/Fusion360ImportCSVPoints/blob/master/README.md#pipes

 

Please grab the new version from the Github repo and install and try it.

Note, very complex paths (lines, splines) may cause Fusion 360 to lockup while attempting to create the geometry.

Cheers,

Hans
