      Hello there,
      Firstly let me thank you all for your excellent contributions. I have just spent over an hour looking through some of your tips and plugins and you are doing an amazing job.

      Anyway, I work for a company that requires some not too detailed drawings of hoop barriers just to show some of our clients.
      What would you recommend would be the best way to draw a very smooth, bent hoop / bent tube. Our product is simply a 50 mm diameter steel tube that is bent in half to create a hoop barrier.

      Sorry that my first post is so long and boring, but any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated.

      Keep up the good work.

      Jon Edwards.

        Hi,

        Welcome to SCF,

        Can u provide a pic as an example? I trying to figure out is it a hoop with a bend or a tube with a bend?

          I guess you just need the Follow Me Tool.

            Which shape would be most like what you need? Red or Green

            I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.
