Measure and Clock Tube Legs

• To check the clocking of holes in tubes, we recommend that you create plugs that insert in the hole. Make the plug at least a couple of inches long.
  
  

• Then create a master tube with the shape that finishes with the plug as the last or first leg. The radius for the pseudo bend can be anything non-zero - like 0.1.

• Then measure that part of the tube to learn the clocking to the previous bend angle.
  
  

• You can use the VIEW TRANSFORM control to reorient the new master tube so that the view is looking down the appropriate straight.
