Bending Tubes

Hi, just wondering the steps involved in creating a tube with various bends in it? I assume the bends are inserted once the tube has been created, but what to do
next?

  1. LOOK in the HELP SECTION under SWEEP

    Sketch a closed, non-intersecting profile on a plane or a face.

    Create the path for the profile to follow. Use a sketch, existing model edges, or curves.

1 = Profile

  1. Click one of the following:

<DIV>then create your pipe path with whatever bends (sketch fillets ) needed</DIV>
