Thanks (!) for the info on creating bent tubes. Although Sweeping a disk will make a bend for plumbing type tubes, all the face extrusion is time consuming. Better to sweep the disk 90 dg and insert a cylinder in each end for a pipe look. But on the way to doing this I found the answer to my problem — extrude the disk along an arced path — bingo, a 'bent' tube! New Question: How to send a light object (sphere) along that tube/path and leave a trail of light? The tube/path is an arc. ==Bill
