any reason you didn't allow the user to optionally input a curve?

Many thanks for the hint :-)

I'll provide it in an update.
Hopefully I can provide then “nice” UVs, too.

Have a look at Kim Goossens' YouTube tutorials - there are some on creating procedural uv's

Main problem is to distribute the pipe segment UVs on different “0…1” uv space patterns,
but I'll do my best to provide a useful result.
(And a helpfile in the tool, shame on me)

Here is a new version with external curve and external nulls.

Forgotten to say:
This tool is inspired by: https://www.sidefx.com/tutorials/point-beveling/ [sidefx.com]

New version, should be useful now :-)
UVs and Groups added…
Use “Render as Subdivision” for best results…
