Sweep in 3D?

[TigerMike]

I think what @Stephen is referring to is this one. Note that my contribution showed rotating the segments in 3D space after the initial sweep.

@KPeter’s approach is a great solution and one that many of us use. Here is another solution which is a more simplistic approach and one I use occasionally. You’ll notice that I create my tubular structures by chamfering an extruded box section. This is a favourite method of mine. [Hanger Thingy HD 1080p]

In this one, I rotated the sketch in a short 3D spiral, then did the sweep.
