- . Rename the layer 'Layer0' to 'pipe1' and create two new childs layers "inner" and "outer". Set 'pipe1//inner' as layer to use with a <Double-click>
- . Choose Geometry->Create->Point and enter new point (0, 9)
- set 'pipe1//outer' as layer to use and create the new point (0, 11). Press ESC to conclude the creation of points.
- . From the Copy window, select Points and Rotation. Enter an angle of 180 degrees and from the Do extrude menu, select Lines. The axis of rotation is the x axis.
