Changing a Tube Profile

Each Tube uses a profile that defines the shape of its cross-section.

NeonFX currently supports:

• ROUND
• SQUARE

Changing the profile does not change the Tube path itself. It only changes how the Tube is rendered around that path.

Change the Profile

Use:

/neonfx tube <drawing> profile <ROUND|SQUARE>

Replace <drawing> with the Drawing that contains the Tube.

ROUND

ROUND uses a circular-style cross-section made from fine radial slices.

It gives the Tube a more traditional neon-tube appearance.

SQUARE

SQUARE uses a square prism profile.

It is useful for designs that need a sharper or more rigid LED-style look.

Profile vs Thickness

The profile controls the shape of the Tube.

Thickness controls the size of that shape.

Thickness is explained separately in:
