I have a bunch of custom made LED RGB tubes mades from RGB LED tape. I'm trying to find a way to put them in Capture 2018 so I can previz with them. I tried to use generic LED tape but it's not long enough without putting several together in Capture and I have 4', 6', and 8' versions of these plus I have 50+ tubes to put in my design. Just trying to find a easier way to put then in and make it work.

one option is (assuming you always want a single colour on the tube at any time like your picture) use a cylinder form from the library objects and make to you required dimensions. Add a material to it and enable the texture generator on it. that will give you RGB control of the cylinder. You will probably need a material per tube though if you need to address them individually
