      I recently downloaded a Ruby script that does twisting and bending... works pretty well. But on the task I was dealing with I did not like the results. Just on a lark, I selected the top face of a tall cube, selected bounding edges, and placed the rotate tool on the center of the face. I then rotated that face 90d.

      The result was identical to what the Ruby Script does for twisting.

      Continuing to play around: select face, bounding edges, move tool... I found I could bend the tall cube too.

      I switched to the scale tool, working again with just the top face. Made a wedge... and then a Pyramid.

      Yeah... I have the script and it does those things and more. But that's not my point. What I want to get across is that I've been using SU for several years now and I have to say I really, really like it when software is so DEEP as to keep revealing useful functionality after I thought I knew it pretty well.

      Good stuff.
