      Can anyone help me with how to model a curved elbow like you see below?
      Sorry about the lousy quality pic, but I know we've all seen one.
      I create a cylinder with a similar "fluted" profile that's straight, but can't figure out how to build a curved one.
      Any thoughts?

        Well, it's simple: do a corrugated cylinder, then bend it with Fredo Scale
