        Else Shape Bender works fine like it must to do with a vertical flat group! πŸ˜„

        For avoid the big deformation of one part of the cross result
        Take the same length of the horizontal cross'length than the length's Arc! πŸ€“
        That is not the case here! πŸ’š

          Maybe True Bend by Thomthom will be more suitable ?

              You need to attach your model for us to give a full answer, but it looks like it is doing what you have told it to do.

                Here in the SKP in 2017.
                I was following a tutorial and modified the form a bit to suit my own interests. In the tutorial, the individual is able to achieve a more 3-dimensional form, if you will

                  It's what I thought from your photo, the arc is on the wrong plan.

                        About True Bend
                        You must make a component if you want a specific axis!

                          As said in my previous post you will have deformations! πŸ˜‰
                          (needing or not, depending of the result really wanted! πŸ˜„

                          Arc's length is 24,15 m
                          Line's length is 22, 94 m

                          So for a perfect result arc must be reduced! πŸ€“

                            As True Bend works only Object by the middle maybe you can use this little trick! πŸ˜‰

                            Open the component and add a little line! πŸ€“
