PRIM_TYPE_TUBE
Description
Constant: integer PRIM_TYPE_TUBE = 5;
The integer constant PRIM_TYPE_TUBE has the value 5
PRIM_TYPE_TUBE is a parameter of PRIM_TYPE used to make prim into a tube and to change specific properties that define the shape of that tube.

This is the old PRIM_TYPE format for the tube (PRIM_TYPE used to be 1 instead of 9). Use the new format unless you are maintaining old code.
It should be noted that topshear_x was intended to be hole_size_y and wasn't caught by QA; in the documentation it was listed by an equivalent term to hole_size_y. The bug became lava-flowed and was never fixed in old incarnation of PRIM_TYPE.
