3d Pipe
Hope someone comes along with something better but here's how I do it.
Method 1. Create your 3d path from individual straight lines and fillets. Extrude you pipe o.d. along the first segment using the "path" option. Now using the extrude face command select the "face" on the end at your next segment (radius) and extrude it alond the next path. Continue till complete. This however, gives on solid instead of pieces.
Method 2. extrude you straight sections and (1) each of each different bend angle/rad. copy radius components to addition location from center to center and rotate as required in to place.
Hope this helps!
