This one is the revert brother of
Extrude Shape Solidify will construct a geometry around the generator edge.
We could say that
Tube Lines is more or less a solidify modifier with a circle shape
You can also of course solidify a 3D text, which make 3 methods along with
Extrude Shape and
Triangulate.
Hint : If you do so over a 3D
3D Text, change this inside of it's parameters for better results.
When placed over a mesh, you'll see some glitches. We are aware of that but that's life.
