Hi, a) the actual version of MathGl3d has a TubularPlot3D[]/ListTubularPlot3D[] function that does this whithout any Euler angle b) you can use the algorithm from http://i2.cs.hku.hk/GraphicsGroup/publications/RMF_rev.pdf Regards Jens hocaosau at gmail.com wrote: > Hi, > > I'd like to draw a network of connecting of pipes (like that 3D pipe > screen saver).
