 Hi everyone I'm still new to intelicad 3D drawing I've done a lot of basic 2D drawings but now I want to draw a pipe car chassis but I dont know how to draw a bent pipe can anyone please assist me

Try this: Draw the center-line of the chassis pipes as polylines or 3D polylines, as appropriate. Then use the SWEEP command with a circle of the appropriate diameter to form the pipe(s).

The soon to be released BC 17 introduces a THICKEN command which may also be useful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=josrUNIsp0k
