Drawing Isometric Hoses - page 2
Use the Node Edit Tool (F10) to select segment 2 of the line as shown with the black dot. Then use the Node Edit Roll-Up (Ctrl+F10) to convert that segment to a curve. Finally marquee select all of the nodes and use the Node Edit Roll-Up (Ctrl+F10) to smooth the line. Copy this curve for later use.
Get the Contour Roll-Up (Ctrl+F9) and set the following: Offset 0.1, Steps 1. If your result is different it is due to scale. Adjust the size of your pipe or the offset dimension to correct the proportions.
Separate the Contour Group and delete the center line. Use the Node Edit Tool (F10) to delete the nodes highlighted in black one-at-a-time. Note: If you delete the four highlighted nodes all at once the ends of your hose will be rounded and difficult to correct.
