Part Tube

Description
The Part Tube command creates a parametric tube solid.

FreeCAD creates a tube, with a inner radius of 2 millimetre, an outer radius of 5 millimetre and a height of 10 millimetre.

By default, the tube is positioned with the center of the bottom circles at the origin (0,0,0). The bottom of the tube is on the xy-plane. Its extension in z-direction follows the positive axis value.
