Making pipes - some questions - micheus - 05-18-2013 07:03 PM
I started from a cylinder as reference for set the desired sizes/length...
and I'm opening the circles and using Bend Clampled for "open" the extremities.
Am I in the right way or is there an better way to get these pipes done?

A little progress...
A second question (the first was: Move Radial)...
Is there a way to twist the vertices (left) in order to get the right (better) bridge for the selected faces (right)?

It's almost finished, but I still accept suggestions for my previous questions.
It was hard rotate each edge loop around its own axis in order to twist the curved pipes:

Dunno how you did it, m, but I probably would've
Selected eloop
Edge | rotate > rmb (and selected same eloop for its normal)
noted angle if eyeballed
select next eloop
CntrlD etc etc
Only doing the minimum number of ops - then mirror etc.
I hope whatever tube it's made from is suitably rated for the calorie challenged individuals in our midst

For "straight" pipes I can use F6+ShiftD after the first setting, but it doesn't works for curved pipes as I was specting:
p.s. I edited the last comment for the picture.
