3 Dimensional Pipe

[arnou-verfaillie]

Hello

I want to make a sort of handle using the pipe command (I used this because I thought this would be possible).

1. So in the screencast below you can see, I want to make the bottem half of the two circles and connect them with another piece of pipe. I cannot select more than 1 curve, so I repeated the command 3 times and joined them. Tried to finish it with a fillet, but it looks hideous. Is there a way you can select more curves/ more dimensions for the pipe command. Or is there a better way to do this?

2. In the second "part" of the screencast (using the pipe command), why can't I make the pipe stop earlier towards the door, so that it doesn't stick out on the other side?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @arnou-verfaillie,

Is that what you are looking for (you can use the Filet to make the corners nice and round)?

Cheers / Ben

Yes, that's exactly what I want, but the pipe command did not allow me to choose multiple lines to construct a pipe...

Maybe there was a gap in between, I will try this again. This is strange!

@arnou-verfaillie

Is this what your after?

You gotta make sure when you create the rectangle, that you are touching the circular points!

Hi arnou-verfaillie,

Here is one way to do it.  I used sweep but you can also use Pipe and select the intersection curve as the path.  Hope this helps.

best regards,

@sanjay_jayabal,

Very interesting technique, I like it.

Here is an adaptation of @Beyondforce's workflow, but in a single sketch:

@jeff_strater, this is brilliant!

You are so smart and it's really annoying 🙂

I would go with most flexible way:

Thanks guys!

Every option seems to work! Apparently one point of my curve was not connected, is there any easy way to check this?

[jeff_strater]

That's very clever @michallach81!  I love this method, because it is very easy to create the "guide solid"...
