How would I go about making these as I am very new to this and I’m trying to get my head around designing pipe drawings for customers

Make a sketch of the profile (in this case only half) and revolve.

Hi @MarcusAnthony

I did pretty much what @Xdrakosha did

Import the drawing as an image , copy the profile then revolve around a circle or axis

Take a Screen shot of the image ,

Import it into your program then just trace around it

After you’ve traced it sweep It around desired radius
