Description

The Tube command inserts a tube into the active document. The tube is geometrically treated as a cut of a smaller cylinder into a larger one. By default, the command will insert a 10 mm high tube with an outer radius of 5 mm and an inner radius of 2 mm. These parameters can be modified after the object has been added.

Usage

To create a tube either:

• press the Tube button in the toolbar
• use the menu Part → Primitives → Create tube

To edit the tube:

• either
  • select it in the tree and double-click on it
  • edit the parameters in the appearing dialog
• or use the the property editor to edit the parameters

Properties

• Via the Property Editor:
  • DatiPlacement: Specifies the orientation and position of the Box in the 3D space. See Placement. The reference point is the left front lower corner of the box.
  • DatiLabel: The Label is the name given to the operation. This name can be changed at your convenience.
  • DatiHeight: Sets the height (default is 10 mm).
  • DatiInner Radius: Set the inner radius (default is 2 mm).
  • DatiOuter Radius: Set the outer radius (default is 5 mm).

Scripting

A Part Tube can be created using the following function:

tube = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::Tube", "myTube")

• Where "myTube" is the name for the object.
• The function returns the newly created object.
