Description
The 
Curves Pipeshell creates a Pipeshell sweep object. This tool is part of the external workbench called Curves.
Usage
- Switch to the
Curves workbench (install from 
Addon Manager is necessary, if not previously installed) - Select the edge that builds the sweep path in the 3D view
- Select one or more required profiles in the Tree view
- To invoke the command, do one of the following:
- Press the
Creates a Pipeshell sweep object button in the tool bar - Use the Surfaces → Pipeshell
- Press the
- Change the
Pipeshellparameter to the required conditions

Data
Base
- DataPlacement: Placement is the location and orientation of an object in space.
- DataLabel: User name of the object in the Tree view.
Main
- DataMode: Default is Frenet. Mode is used to select the sweeping algorithm. Choices: Frenet, DiscreteTrihedron, FixedTrihetron, Binormal, ShapeSupport, AuxiliarySpine.
- DataOutput: Default is Surface. Output determines the shape of the object. Choices: Surface, Sections, Lofted Sections.
- DataProfile: List of the used profiles.
