    I've done a fair amount of 3D stuff but tonight I have to render some neon
    in the shape of a 5 pointed star, except it doesn't cross itself anywhere.
    (Actually, 1 inside another, concentric.)
    Is there an EASY way do do pipe or tubing type stuff?
    I can't seem to find a solid command and I was experimenting with
    combinations of ruled surface and revolved surface, both from circles that
    I rotated first 90° off the horizontal axis then rotated according to the
    bend, etc. But that seems klunky to me.
    Any suggestions most welcome!
    Thanks

    I suggest you post your question in the Accurender news group (go to
    mcneel.com and look for the ar3 new group). Accurender works as a rendering
    add-in to AutoCAD so virtually all the modeling issues being discussed there
    revolve around AutoCAD's 3D capabilities. I'm sure someone there can give
    you a hint.
