Creating bent hollow pipes with the sweep tool

page 3


Now we have a pipe with a 90 degree bend in it. Now click the sweep tool again and change the Y rotation value back to 90 degrees. Right click on the sweep tool and set the Z value to 5 and press return. You should now see the sweep with the new length.

Click the sweep tool and change the z value in the property panel back to 0.5.

Grab the rotation handle on the swept face and move it so the Y rotation is 75 degrees.

Click the sweep tool 5 more times until you have another 90 degree bend.
