I like the Lines2Tubes.rb plugin, for quick rendering, but prefer the tubes to be copies of a "master" tube component. With the master tube-component axes aligned to the model-space axes, I can scale different tubes to custom lengths. To make all the tubes fatter or thinner, I simply modify the "contents" of the master component, editing in its context. (...BUT, it requires a LOT more effort!) Now, if I could only have the "best of both worlds." [image: StI2_10V_radome.png] Taff
