    I am working to make a bicycle frame. I aligned the tubes via aligning the geometries of the tubes. I extruded the short tube using mid plane. Notice the parts are off of any organizing geometry. Is this a problem for when I want to add more frame tubes? Is there a way to, in place, shape...

Once created...
