Hello, I’m quite new to this (and the app itself) I’m just wondering how I can do this part

From what I can see here, you would draw a line or spline, forming the U shape path. Then add a perpendicular plane to the end of the line/spline. Then draw a circle at the end, then sweep that circle along the path you’ve drawn. You can then add, subtract, or modify the ends of your object to customize the ends. If you want to have it be tapered, then draw different circles along the path, and then loft the circles to form your object.
