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.
