measuring fork

[mcdue]

Bye to all,
I return to the charge: I have a tube that must be folded in different points and I would like to measure its total length (development). I'm sure you can, but I don't know how and I didn't find much here or on google. Can you help me?
Thank you.

even if it is approximate, when served I did so:

I carry out a union of all the theoretical lines of the center of the tube (if it is already a single curve so much better), then I carry out a smoothing of the curve with continuity in curvature, in this way I get a curve that is measured (with the measuring gauge) in all its length and not in the individual entities.

Let me know.

Thanks a thousand years, I apologize if I only come back now, but I had some commitment.
What do you mean by smoothing? I am new sel sw and I am not understanding.. .
Thank you.

hi I normally do this: in the sketch I create the broken axis of my tube so I put the fittings step to the 3d and I create an orthogonal plane to the axis where you want to start the tube, I grow the sez of the tube I return in 3d and with coast I create the tube. go to surfaces and with " union " create a unique axis of your tube. turn in part and with measure touch the union icon in the chart shaft and you have your perimeter.
