Alternatively, it seems you CAN use the “Edge Spin” option to generate the elbow, the advantage being that there is no need to pre-create curves compared to the aforementioned approach. Position and Direction define a point on the axis of rotation and the orientation of that axis, respectively. (Position is oddly placed in the figure below, but you get the idea.)
