The [[Image:Part_Tube.svg|24px]] '''Part Tube''' command creates a parametric tube solid. In the coordinate system defined by its {{PropertyData|Placement}} property, the bottom face of the tube lies on the XY plane with its center at the origin. |
|||
The Tube command inserts a tube into the active document. The tube is geometrically treated as a cut of a smaller cylinder into a larger one. By default, the command will insert a 10 mm high tube with an outer radius of 5 mm and an inner radius of 2 mm. These parameters can be modified after the object has been added. |

Description
The Part Tube command creates a parametric tube solid. In the coordinate system defined by its DataPlacement property, the bottom face of the tube lies on the XY plane with its center at the origin.
Usage
Create
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the Part Tube button.
- Select the Part → Primitives → Create tube option from the menu.
- The Tube task panel opens and a preview of the tube is displayed in the 3D view.
- Specify the dimensions.
- The preview is dynamically updated.
- Press the OK button.
- The tube is created.
- Optionally change the DataPlacement of the tube in the Property editor, or with the Std TransformManip command.
Edit
- Double-click the tube in the Tree view
- The Tube task panel opens.
- Change one or more dimensions.
- The tube is dynamically updated in the 3D view.
- Press the OK button.
Example
A Part Tube object created with the scripting example below is shown here.
Properties
See also: Property editor.
A Part Tube object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:
Data
Attachment
The object has the same attachment properties as a Part Part2DObject.
Tube
- DataHeight (
Length
): The height of the tube. The default is10mm
. - DataInner Radius (
Length
): The inner radius of the tube. Must be smaller than DataOuter Radius. Can be0
. The default is2mm
. - DataOuter Radius (
Length
): The outer radius of the tube. Must be larger than DataInner Radius. The default is5mm
.
Scripting
See also: Autogenerated API documentation, Part scripting and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.
A Part Tube can be created with the addTube()
method (introduced in version 0.20) of the Shapes module:
tube = Shapes.addTube(FreeCAD.ActiveDocument, "myTube")
- Where
"myTube"
is the name for the object. - The function returns the newly created object.
Example:
import FreeCAD as App
from BasicShapes import Shapes
doc = App.activeDocument()
tube = Shapes.addTube(FreeCAD.ActiveDocument, "myTube")
tube.Height = 20
tube.InnerRadius = 2
tube.OuterRadius = 3
tube.Placement = App.Placement(App.Vector(2, 4, 5), App.Rotation(60, 60, 30))
doc.recompute()
