Hello,
I agree, it's way too much work to create this shape. I was able to do so but the 3rd turn in the rail was a real problem since I couldn't get the blend function to work on the 2 edges, probably since they crossed a seam. I even tried joining the 4 curve segments into two segments and then running the blend command but that didn't work either, it gives no result. I then tried joining the four edges to two, creating a tangent arc and doing a network command and that worked and I was able to create a solid but that part of the tube looked "off" for some reason, and I got some weird segments when looking at the mesh. It would be great if you didn't have to worry so much about these edge fragments and seams.
