Can someone provide some advice on how to create a simple cylinder that is rotated 90 degrees? Think of a 90 degree ell pipe fitting to visualize the shape. Please advise. Thanks

Use **Revolve**.

You could also use Sweep, in which case you’d still start with a circle but draw a curved path and sweep along it.

Thank you Tiger Mike! I was trying to use Revolve incorrectly, I appreciate the demonstration on proper use.
