Problem with union of 2 simple shapes

 From:  Sutts (SUTTS99)

Hi guys,

I used a simple sweep of 2 circles (at 90 degrees to each other) to produce a short pipe like object. I then produced a copy of that object, rotated through 90 degrees.
When I try to fuse the 2 objects together with a union operation it either hangs on "calculating..." or one of the objects disappears.

Can anyone suggest a technique to get this to work please?

Thanks,

Dave
