Hi,
I'm trying to build a model of an heat exchanger, I'm using bend modifiers and arrays as the pictures below show, but what I'd like to do if possible is build a complete path like a spline path in the shape of the heat exchanger and extrude a circle along it to build one complete pipe, that is because if I want to make a change as it is say to the cylinder radius, and or the shell thickness I then have to alter other things to bring the separate parts to align with each other, and I thought if I could do it the other way it would be easier to make changes without the problems of re-aligning the different parts, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kevin.
