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.
