Pipe ObjectsInsert and configure a lighting pipe object with the Lighting Pipe tool.
For Braceworks calculations (Braceworks required), the lighting pipe is considered to have a rigid cross section.
To insert a lighting pipe object:

Alternatively, create a polyline and then select the Create Objects from Shapes command (see Creating Objects from Shapes).
Click in the drawing area to begin drawing the lighting pipe.

Create a curved pipe by changing the vertex type (see Creating Polylines).
Double-click to complete the lighting pipe polyline.
The first time you use the tool in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default properties, and click OK. The properties can be edited from the Object Info palette.
