I was wondering if its possible to add a feature to the Pipe Tool:

In addition to the pipe being a circle, could there be an option for a square or rectangle profile?

As of late I've been working on some aluminum frames with compound curves for wicker chairs that have square/rectangle profiles.

Noted that I can use the sweep profile vtool but I feel that its easier to combine operations with one click.

It could even have a small dialog box that shows the profile and has a couple fields for L and W..

Maybe even an option to import (or paste in) your own arbitrary profile.

It almost seems like it could be a precursor to a custom fastener-creation dialog box since I imagine it to operate a similar way.

Just my friday morning thoughts..
