TubeΒΆ

Now test function to make a tube generated along the z-axis

def tube(r, w, h, a ):
   '''
   Generate a (partial) tube with
   r  outside radius
   w  wall thickness
   h  length (height)
   a  angle of sweep (360 is full circle)
   e.g.
   b = tube(6, 2, 10, 90)
   '''
   b = Part.makeCylinder(r, h, Vector(0,0,0), Vector(0,0,1), a)
