VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER can handle rectangular tube shapes as well as cylindrical.

VTube can draw rectangular or square tubing. The dimensional controls are in the Part Setup menu of both STEP and LASER modes:

Set Width1 and Width2 to the same values to draw square tube.

This profile orientation is referred to as the "easy way" bending in the tubing industry.

You can switch the values in the Width1 and Width2 to rotate the tube shape into the "hard way" bending method.

We recommend Magic View & Converter to import and view CATIA notes files. (This is only a viewer program.)

 ====Rectangular - Bending "Easy Way"====
-For rectangular tube, this is the most common configuration used because the bending is easier than when the profile is rotated 90 degrees to this orienation.
