Let's assume you have installed the files correctly - but just in case double check the files/subfolders-files footprint is as the guidance AND discussed at length in posts in the tool's thread... Also let's assume you have also installed the necessary progressbar.rb helper tool from Smustard.com, as is also explained in the tool's page...

axis, it cannot touch any other geometry.

Also the second picked curve/arc must not touch any other geometry [including the red-line]. Any touching geometry will prevent a selection by pick.

It is best [but not essential] if the line, curve and object-to-be-bent are all in the positive quadrant of the model's axes [i.e. -ve to x, y and z]...

If you don't get a 'special cursor' when asked to pick the line it's an indication of a mis-install with the needed cursor image[s] missing from the tool's subfolder... This will also stall the process.

Run it with the Ruby Console open to see any error messages...
Report them if you still can't fix it...
