    How do I create some ribs around a pipe?

  2. The first thing that comes to mind is to sweep a profile. Unfortunately you
    didn't say if the ribs go around the pipe, or down the length of it. But
    either way, I would think that a sweep would be the place to start.

    you have to tell us a bit more: what profile are the ribs? are they parallel
    to the pipe axis, if not, how are they disposed? Is the pipe straight, if
    not, how is it shaped?

    PS - Hope you didn't want to use the rib tool. I've not yet met anyone who
    claims fully to understand it

    keep him away from the rib tool

    DON'T LET HIM NEAR THE RIB TOOL !

    break his thumb if you have to .............


    (sorry, couldn't help myself)
