This command creates a 3D polyline that represents a pipe. The
points
can be either picked on screen or specified by point number in the
current
coordinate file. This command is a convenient way to make 3D polylines
that can become "pipe polylines" used for capturing their profile
positions,
leading to circular or elliptical or even square plots of the pipes or
culverts
within Draw Profile. However, this command is not required nor
sufficient
to make a pipe polyline useful in the Draw Profile command.
Pipe
polylines are made only by converting 3D polylines into pipe polylines
using
the adjacent command, Assign Pipe Width to Pline.
