Pipe
The pipe shape is similar to the ProBuilder Cylinder, but hollow. It has similar properties, but you can also specify the thickness of the pipe wall.
Basic pipe shape (default values)
Pipe with increased number of height segments (faces per side)
Pipe with three sides and increased height
Pipe with increased number of sides and thickness
You can customize the shape of a pipe with these shape properties:
Property: | Description: |
---|---|
Radius | Set the radius (width) of the pipe in meters. The default value is 1. Minimum value is 0.1. |
Height | Set the height of the pipe in meters. The default value is 2. Minimum value is 0.1. |
Thickness | Set the thickness of the walls of the pipe in meters. When this value approaches the Radius value, the hole becomes smaller. The default value is 0.2. Valid values range from 0.01 to the Radius value minus 0.01. |
Number of Sides | Set the number of sides for the pipe. The more sides you use (relative to the size of the Radius), the smoother the sides of the pipe become. The default value is 6. Valid values range from 3 to 32. |
Height Segments | Set the number of divisions to use for the height of the pipe. For example, using a value of 3 produces four faces on every side of the pipe. The default value is 1. Valid values range from 0 to 32. |
