Guide and pipe element
The pipe element can be an independent body, or it can be glued to the body or cut out of it.
To create a new body or to glue a pipe element to an existing body (i.e. to add material), use the Pipe element operation, and to cut an element out of a body (i.e. to delete material), use the Cut with a pipe element.
A 3D curve, a sketch line, an edge, or a chain of these objects in any combination can be used as a guide.
The tubular element can be solid or thin-walled.
