      BlueFalcon,

      In those pictures I cannot see the axes. Don't forget that ShapeBender works only along the red axis.

        Assuming that the straight line is drawn along the red-axis...
        How big is the group ?
        If bending it would make facets <1mm then it might fail...

          I have done the same procces along the red axis with lines all higher than 1 meter, and the same happens.

            Could you post a screen shot of your Plugins folder as well as the contents of the folder called clf_shape_bender?

              Hmm, not sure why the previes is not shoing up. Just try pressing "enter" after you select the line and curve. See if that does anything.

              Also, run it with the ruby console open, see if it shows any errors.

                  i have tried everything thats told me, nothing helps.
                  i have a screen shot of my folder with the plugin and the folder, but i cant upload cause the site is down.
                  only when i opened the ruby console, an error appeared.

                  the error:
                  Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `/' for nil:NilClass>

                  here is the picture but i dont know if this link works:

                      To avoid potential confusion, the line needs to be parallel to the red axis but it does not have to be literally on it.

                          I want to thank you really much Chris, for the Shape Bender plug-in.
                          It is realy one of the most wanted tools for me!

                            i can´t make it work...😞
                            it loaded correctly after install but i can´t select the line on the red axis. i guess this is not a new thing but i still can´t find a solution around.
                            group selected > shape bender > it doesn´t recognized the line...

                              After starting shape Bender, does the cursor change to an arrow with a straight line below it?

                              And is the line outside the group or part of it?

                                It´s fixed, i am too impacient! The problem was about putting the shape bender folder in the wrong place. I used the whole unzipped folder under the plugins directory...
                                Thank you Dave (and Chris of course. let´s have some fun 😄

                                      For shape bender and a few other items, I see that you have already received much and well deserved praise and I want to add to that with a HUGE THANK YOU!!!! You have ended the progression of my gray hair. I’m a real novice with all of this and I needed to make a large, long screw bolt that left miffed and mumbling profanities. Your tutorials are excellent as well. It took me a bit to figure out how to actually add a plug-in but it was nothing compared to the frustrations of trying to make a screw. Again thank you very much.

                                        I've been trying to bend a logo for about two days now. Your plugin was the answer.
