Is there any tutorial for ‘ **Draw Tube** ’?  
I am trying to use it to add a tube to my segmentation and I need to know how to adjust the control points of the curve in any of the 3D views.

I have Aorta and cannula segmented, I want to merge them first then use Hollow to make thick shell from lumen. How can I merge those first?

You can combine segments using Logical operators effect.

I want to see inside the thick shell. Is there any way to hide a portion of the shell temporarily to see the remain part?

You can make the model surface transparent or enable slice clipping in Models module to make the model appear clipped, or use Dynamic Modeler module to create a clipped copy of the node.
