Hi Jinghua, The volume tracer capability to stitch loops drawn in parallel planes to form tube surfaces uses some strange heuristics that don't always produce a good result. I'd have to see the case where you have trouble to understand it. I just tried making a tube, see attached photo, and it worked ok in a Chimera daily build from a few days ago. I am at a workshop until the middle of next week so may not reply to email for a while.

When I try to create a tube by tracing two planes, the surface it makes is more like a cone. Do I need connect all the markers from two different planes?
Thank you for your help!
