If anyone can point me in the direction of premade wires, pipelines or cables for use on my space station Id love to hear about it please :)

I cant be the only person who wants wires and cables for control panels and electronic systems and pipelines for various refuelling points.

It seems so difficult shrinking and curling or bending tubes and cylinders.

Try Caledon Skycity (I think) - there's a store there (in a flying build) sells all sorts of control panels, ducting and stuff. Caledon's worth a looksee on its own, although I find I tend to get almost as much lag there as on the mainland for some reason.

No VAT either.

Ive been to caledon - fantastic place- rode on my first train in sl there. But I never saw the place you referred to I'll have to go back for a look... It really is a beautiful sim.
Thanks Incanus.

Pipemaker

I got a freebie from somewhere called "Pipemaker." Actually I think it may have been in Caldedon. I have no unearthly idea how to use it, but it makes curved pipes that line up perfectly. Straight ones too.

I'll drop it in your inventory and you can just discard it if you don't want it. So far I've had no ill effects from carrying it around* although I've never used it.

Pipemaker is by Lex Neva. Pretty sure it should be available in her home sim of Suffugium.

Pipemaker is an astonishing piece of work, right up there with Cadroe Murphy's Lathe and Shapemaker tools. Easy to use, too.

Do you want physical objects only, or are you looking for textures, too?

I was looking for physical objects and thank everyone for their help. Unfortunately a long look at the introduction of VAT on land made me take a long look at existence in sl and I sold my land today. So for the moment my plans are on hold. Thanks again though to everyone who offered help.

No VAT when it's a transaction between residents. Like, say, Desmond Shang, the proprietor of Caledon? ;-)
