Hi Jawed,

I tried to do it from Plan, with no success. My method is not perfect, but it works fine for most cases:

• put pipe (short one) and Hydrant at plan, still no elbows; isolate them
• go to any isometric 3d view
• starting from the hydrant end, add all the needed connecting parts using pipe snapping

Hope it will help,

Hi Olga,

Hope you are doing good, Thanks for your feedback. I found a tricky way to create this type of 90 degree bend and got success. I used a 3dline and add vertex of different elevation and run the pressure network and I got my S elbow. I am going to share my 3d line for  your understanding. 

Thanks
