Pipe/tube along path
-
Back in SketchUp 6 or so I had a plug-in called tube along path and also one called pipe along path. I cannot find those anywhere now. I sure would like to find them or something else that has the same functionality.
Either one would draw a pipe or tube of the specified ID/Od/number of segments down any path, curved or around right angle corners.
Push/Pull fails if the pattern is not perpendicular to the line and Follow Me takes off on odd tangents and I cannot get it to follow a line past more than one turn.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I've found these with a search after "path" and "tubes" in the pluginstore:

Edit: same idea as Rich, but some seconds slower

Easy enough to find, though. Tube Along Path On the other hand TIG has kept Pipe Along Path up to date. Just use it.

Thanks guys!
Pipe along path works just like I remembered and saved a ton of work.
