Developer: RhinoScript
Summary: Demonstrates how to 'pipe' multiple curves at a time using RhinoScript.

Rhino's Pipe command creates a surface with a circular profile around a curve. The command works on one curve at a time. That is, if you have n number of curves to pipe, you have to run the Pipe command n number of times.

The following sample RhinoScript code will allow you to pipe multiple curves at a time.
