    Whenever I use shape bender to curve railing around stair bend it skews my decorative sections of railing. It keeps the pickets vertical but skews decorative pieces naturally. is there a way around this . Much Thanks

          I reposted with a picture. Thanks so much. A solution to this issue would be awesome. I love Shape bender and even more so if it can get around this problem.

            There's no need to keep making new threads for the same topic. I've merged them.

            The solution to your problem is to not use Shape Bender on your decorative parts. Put them in separately. Basically, if you don't want them bent, don't bend them.

            If you want them bent to the radius of the rail but not skewed, bend them with a horizontally placed arc of the correct radius and length.
