Can you show more image? I cannot understand what I'm looking at.

cheers solo, i have updated the pics to make it more clear...

I bet Kirill's Blend Plugin would do wonders here:
Edit - me stupid, sorry. His other plugin; 2faces+path will do the wonders needed here:

Hi guys,
I have tried it, but seems like it doesn't work.
Here's the file if you wanna give it a go.
Cheers

As far as I can remember, you need to attach the path to the faces, not to the endpoints. I don't have the plugin installed at the moment but try to move the line a bit.

thanks, i have tried it, but seems not to work.
will try some more.
thanks!

2 Faces + path. Weld the curve for smoother result. Use Perpendicular face tool to put faces perpendicular to the curve.

o my sack! you almost got it!
The end and start point should be exactly where it is drawn though...
will have to check how you did this.
Looking good man!

i got it!
When i twist it, my base point moves to an angle:
but i have to twist 1st, then bend:
-
[edit --- you're missing a bend.. look at the orientation of the ends of the slats on the original picture you posted]
i twisted it 90deg first... then bent it 90deg and bent it again 90deg..
after this, you can use the scale tool to stretch/squish it and fit it into place.. you can also set fredoscale to do the smoothing for you as you go so you don't have all those lines showing up.
-
Did you subdivide that rectangular box before doing the fredo-scale operations?

nah, fredoscale divides it up for you.. you can select the amount of sections but for the most part, i keep it on auto.

Well Dang! I guess I really need to learn how to use FredoScale. Thanks!
