) As Brep()

rail

Type: Rhino.Geometry.Curve
the path curve for the pipe

railRadiiParameters

Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(Double)
one or more normalized curve parameters where changes in radius occur. Important: curve parameters must be normalized - ranging between 0.0 and 1.0.

radii

Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(Double)
An array of radii - one at each normalized curve parameter in railRadiiParameters.

localBlending

Type: System.Boolean
If True, Local (pipe radius stays constant at the ends and changes more rapidly in the middle) is applied. If False, Global (radius is linearly blended from one end to the other, creating pipes that taper from one radius to the other) is applied

cap

Type: Rhino.Geometry.PipeCapMode
end cap mode

fitRail

Type: System.Boolean
If the curve is a polycurve of lines and arcs, the curve is fit and a single surface is created; otherwise the result is a polysurface with joined surfaces created from the polycurve segments.

absoluteTolerance

Type: System.Double
The sweeping and fitting tolerance. If you are unsure what to use, then use the document's absolute tolerance

angleToleranceRadians

Type: System.Double
The angle tolerance. If you are unsure what to use, then either use the document's angle tolerance in radians

Type: Brep[]
Array of created pipes on success
