 * 1) Create two separate sketches;
 * 2) * one for the path, e.g two lines connected by a curve as in the image above,
 * 3) * one for the cross-section shape, e.g. a circle as the first shape in the image above. Instead of a sketch also the face of a 3D object can be used.
 * 4) Arrange the two shapes in 3D correctly. It is recommended to place the origin of the cross-section onto the line of the path. The two sketches should in most cases be orthogonal. This can be done with the 'Map Mode' function (make both sketches visible with . Select the cross-section sketch. Select Properties/DataTab/MapMode. Click the appearing  button at the right side. In the Attachment Dialog select a vertex of the path sketch and select the correct mode to get the two sketches aligned correctly).
 * 5) Press the  button.
 * 6) In the Select feature dialog, select either a sketch or a the face of a 3D object  to be used cross-section and click.
 * 7) * Alternatively, the cross-section sketch or face can be selected prior to pressing the Additive pipe button. In that case you will not get a "Select feature' dialog.
 * 8) In the Pipe parameters under Path to sweep along, press the  button.
 * 9) Select the sketch to be used as path in the 3D view. In this case the whole sketch will be used as path.
 * 10) * Alternatively, single edges of the sketch can be selected by pressing and selecting edges in the 3D view. Note that you must press the  for each edge again. You must select a continous line with no branches.
 * 11) The other settings should work with the default settings in most cases.
 * 12) Click.
