        for the problems, maybe you must disable the old "line2cyl.rb"?
        maybe...

        for me it works with old tool....

        Thanks Didier for a very usefull plugin... I was wondering if there is way to clean up intersection...

        Ditto Sepo, I found the same thing...

            I did not have a chance to look at this until now on my work machine. I had line2cyl.rb here as well. I installed Lines to tubes and got the same results... not showing up. So I then tried as you suggested Pilou, deleting line2cyl.rb and now it is showing up.
            Thanks. ๐Ÿ‘

              i think there should also be an option to make not round tubes but square hexagonal triangular ones.

                Use a precision of 4 and you'll get square section prisms.(RTFM)

                Simple anD easy.. MERCI!

                  I think if you downloaded the plugin and checked the manual you'd see that it already does what you want.

                            Great plugin. Is there a way to close the gaps in sharp corners just like in "Pipe Along Path"?

                              Great plugin, I was trying to create a window and realized that using precision 4, the corners were at 45 degrees, can I control the orientation of the angles?
                              Thanks!

                                          I love this plugin! It's so incredibly easy to use and all the options I need are included. A+ for ease of use!
                                          Combined with the soapskin bubble plugin it's almost addictive ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

                                          It does sometimes crash my sketchup. The progress percentage builds up, slows down, and eventually just stops. A second or third try (saving before starting) usually does the job though.

                                          All in all, pretty much brilliant!

                                            first I must thank you for your handy tool Dider, and then I thought if you could combine this plugin with a geosphere creator + an option to have sphere in junction points, then we would have A LATTIC TOOL ,right in sketchup, that makes space frames easy.
