Building Multi-Tube Shapes
Complex designs can use several Tubes inside the same Drawing.
This is useful when the final shape contains disconnected sections that still belong to one design.
Start with the First Tube
Create the first part of the design normally by placing nodes and shaping the path.
Start Another Tube
When you need a disconnected section:
- Hold Shift.
- Right-click on empty space.
NeonFX starts a new Tube inside the same Drawing.
Continue Building
Add nodes to the new Tube normally.
You can repeat this process as many times as needed to build the complete design.
When Multi-Tube Shapes Make Sense
Multiple Tubes are useful for:
- Logos with separate parts
- Multi-letter signs
- Decorative shapes with gaps
- Complex symbols
- Designs that should be controlled as one Drawing
One Drawing, Several Tubes
Even when a Drawing contains several Tubes, Drawing-level controls still affect the whole design.
If you need separate control, create a different Drawing instead.
