Transform 2D outline to round section 3D

Hello, I would like to know how to transform 2d image A to the 3d image B.

These are just images for example, what I would need is to know how to transform any simple lines drawing or outline to a 3D that was like made of round section wire or cable.

Evidently I am quite a begginer…

Thank You.

There’s not really a great way to do this the way you are proposing. However you can apply a curve tube brush to any curve to automatically create a tube in the shape of that curve. The Stroke > Curve Functions > Frame Mesh function provides a variety of options for establishing complex curves.

All of this is overkill, though. The easiest way by far to create a a semi-ring is with one of the ring primitives. Either use the Gizmo ring, or the ring primitive in the tool menu, which can be customized with the functions in Tool > Initialize.
