You are correct, but as I told lew6598, I prefer more control over my width and depth. Another reason I don't use that method is that I like to leave behind a sketch reference in case I need it later for other operations. Thanks for leaving a comment.
I like that you're making some Macross stuff-- good use of the app! A third panel line method is to create a new body by cutting the object along the intended panel line, then chamfer each side of the two edges that meet. This gives a v-shaped scribe line... which is sometimes nice. It's little more crisp than the rounded channel, but a tad more subtle than the rectangular one. I also like that if I'm going to print and mold the part, the mold will probably not catch air bubbles, or tear quite as soon at a V-shaped scribe line. Depending on the depth and scale of course. But all three I would find useful, for sure. Cheers for the cool video!
@jameshakola3603 Thank you for the feedback! I'm a big Macross fan, for sure. It's something else I grew up on. I just finished the gun, and I am working on the VF-OS now so I can make a custom 4' tall version with my spin on the design. I like the idea of using a V-shaped scribe line. I had planned on doing a video of a few other methods as well, maybe I can add that method to the video. Thank you for the sub and for helping me grow the channel!
Just give the pipe a square profile! It doesn’t have to be round.

Does it have the square feature at this moment?
@@whitardesigns7572 Yes.
I follow this..
Draw the line, use project curve then make it pipe, then select the target body and use pipe as boolean. Magic.
Just Wow. This Tip is changing my workflow.Thx a lot.

It is good to hear that you found it useful. I am glad it helped.
