3D piping drawing command

3D piping drawing command

3D piping drawing command

(OP)
I seem to remember an easy way of laying out piping in 3D however I forgot the command.  The procedure was to draw the center line and then draw a circle on one end of the center line and invoke this "forgotten" command to have the circle extrude itself to follow the centerline.

Carl B- it is not extrude.  This "forgotten" command will follow a path such as a center line that may have bends.  The Extrude command will not bend.

RE: 3D piping drawing command

Sure it will.  Extrude [pick circle] Path [pick path]

Thanks You responders- somehow I forgot about the PATH option
