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

Square Tube

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

The rectangular fillet radius controls the four corner radii.

Rectangular - Bending "Easy Way"

This profile orientation is referred to as the "easy way" bending in the tubing industry. The reason is because this orientation is easier to bend than a profile rotated 90 degrees to this.

Rectangular - Bending "Hard Way"

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