Miter tubes module

This module generates a sequence of mitered tubes based on the provided section lengths, with options for customizing their dimensions and unfolding their arrangement.

Parameters:

• sections (array): An array of section lengths, each specifying the length of an individual tube. Example: [10, 20, 30] will create three tubes of lengths 10, 20, and 30 units respectively.

• height (number): The height of each tube. This value defines the dimension perpendicular to the tube's length and depth.

• depth (number): The depth of each tube. This value defines the dimension perpendicular to the tube's length and height.

• unfold (boolean, optional): Determines whether the sequence of tubes should be unfolded for easier visualization or fabrication. When true, the tubes are laid out in a flat arrangement. Defaults to false.

As an example let's create metalon arch :

include <BOSL2/std.scad>;
include <Metalib/metalib.scad>;

yrot(-90) 
	miter_tubes([400,500,400],30,20,start=false,end=false);
