Start off with a Circle

Spoiler:

Then pull that upward, or whatever direction.

Spoiler:

Draw an Arc to the direction of the curve you want to make

Spoiler:

Select the 'Follow Me' tool and grab the Face and drag it around that Arc

Spoiler:

See those Edges, select them and Hide them by right clicking and selecting 'Hide'

Spoiler:

Pull that to out and then you can do another curve.

[FN-P90]

Hey whn you make the arc how do u do it? do u use the tool or what because whn i use the tool its too curved.

[boberth2o]

Lets start off with a cylinder and draw a box in the direction that you want the curve

Spoiler:

Take the arc tool and draw the arc, make it so the very bottom of the arc line is parallel or overlaying the vertical line of your box.

Spoiler:

Now, erase that box and explode the curve, then erase some of the lines in the curve to get what you want in the bend portion, I wanted a 90 degree bend so I erased three lines and drew a horizontal line off of the top of the arc

Spoiler:

Now use the Follow Me tool and click and drag it across all of the points in the curve. You should get something like this.

Spoiler:

We have the bend and we have to make it look pretty by reversing the purple faces and softening the edges and if need be hiding some edges that wouldn't soften
