Creating a pipe slot

The Pipe Slot command enables you to create a pipe slot in an existing solid by sweeping a circular profile along a spine path.

1	On starting the command, you are prompted to select a profile or curves. Select the spine along which you want to sweep the pipe, and then end selection. To reselect the spine, click on Spine in the selection list and select the spine again.
2	Select Solid in the selection list, and then select the solid from which the slot will be removed.
3	In the Diameter mini-dialog, specify the diameter of the pipe or click and drag the handle to interactively set the diameter.
4	If necessary, click More Options to specify additional options. Use the Thickness mini-dialog to create a solid tube centered within the slot or drag the handle to set the required thickness.
5	Click or to confirm your selections and create the slot. Click to discard your changes.
