Version 0.20.2, installed from Flatpak.
I'm having some issues with getting a subtractive pipe to work correctly. My intended use case is that I'm trying to use it simultaneously profile existing edges, as well as adding a rounded corner. Whatever I do, I can't seem to get it to do these actions smoothly. Not quite sure why this is, but potentially not helped by the angles between the planes.
I'd really appreciate anyone having a look at my model and being able to explain what I'm doing wrong/not understanding about the pipe function.

Re: Issues with understanding/using pipe tool
it is necessary to lengthen the sketches so that there is no material left in the hatched angle

Re: Issues with understanding/using pipe tool
Thanks! I tried that, but I'm still getting a sharp edge on the top and bottom. Did you adjust anything else too? I'm not sure where my "line" sketch needs to be in relation to the "edges".
