Stock Square Tubing (with Rounded-Corners)
From Monica Log on July 14, 2013 - The result includes the stock pivot plate, all plates with 1 1/8" diameter holes and both 1/4" and 1/2" thick tube profiles. This is the file File:Warehouse-Rounded-tubes-and-plates-big-holes.skp. Note: tubing with square corners is preferable in Sketchup, as it can be put together much more easily.
Tibor gave me a great tip for the tangent arcs: lines should be made before arcs in order to make them. So instead of doing the inner arcs first, do the lines.
Made a tutorial for using arrays in the tube construction. In this case from a 4" tube, we get a 40" in less than a minute. Then, all that's left is cleaning details.

- Warehouse contains tubing with square corners, not rounded corners - for ease of working in Sketchup.
