                Hi Remus,

                how do you do that? I downloaded fredos scale plugin and there is an option "Radial Bending (free). What must I select to get this nice curve?

                Cheers

                    It was radial bend, and i just grouped the whole thing->selected the group->bend around one of the corners. The plugin does the rest for you.

                        No problem Gaieus. πŸ˜„

                        @Remus I have made a group, selected this and then I use the radial blend tool at the top of my mesh (in the middle of the top-surface), but it doesn't work. It is totally deformed. If I use the tool around one of the corners, it does nothing.

                        Can you mark the point in my attachment, where I must use the radial blend tool?

                        Cheers

                          Have you pressed "F4" before you used the bend tool on your shape? This will let you to obtain a smooth curved bend.

                            Thank you Massimo. I got it. F4-key was the right way.
