Script to create center line for shape tube (Same radius)

Hello everyone,

I am trying to create macro to extract center lines of surface tube (then create 1D elements) but it works only for simple shape.

For the a bit complex shape, the center lines are not smooth at bending area.

Appreciate very much anyone can give some suggestion for this.

Hello

I made it but rarely use

Suggestion for you is not to use F9 create mid lines, you should create mid line by line drag a radial line along wire path

line drag does not create a line but create a surf whose one edge is mid line

in my macro I generate a thin surf (actually zero width) so it is a mid line!

Hi tinh,

You referred to a script in this response but I only see a YT video.

Could you please direct me to the script?

Thanks!
