I am designing a chassis frame rail and it needs to have a bend in it. I tried the pipe command and it doesn't offer a rectangular option, just round and square. I have built a model of the tubing (2x4 steel) but wondering if it can be bent in the drawing to be able to have mandrel bent for production.

Hi,
maybe Sweep helps?
1. create a path (3-D-sketch)
2. create a plane on path
3. sketch the tube profile
4. sweep the profile along the path

If you have to bend the actual rectangular tube take a look at this Blog article and video. Model is attached.
