Bent tube. (by Maxmans)

Hello, a question: If I want to draw a piece like the one in the photo, should I assemble it or can I do it in a single working plane? Thank you.

I don't know any way except piecewise, as two cylinders plus a lathe for the join.

Maxmans,

They are currently working on a "sweep along path" tool which would enable you do to what you're thinking in 2 sketches and a single sweep. That tool hasn't been released yet so as of right now you'll have to do it piecewise as Tom mentioned.

Good evening, Maxmans,

Here is a youtube video of someone doing what, I think, is similar to what you are asking. He makes 90° bends though I think you can change the angle for your needs. Hope it helps.

That's the solution I was looking for, Ali, thank you very much.
