      If you didn't have overlaid component-instances... and you used Model Info > Statistics > Purge Unused...
      It would get a lot smaller and be attachable, and more likely to get a response...
      I get no problems...
      Select the Object.
      Activate the Plugin.
      Pick the Line.
      Pick the Curve.
      After a second or two the bent replica appears...

        I will try that next time. Apologies. T have tried restarting Sketchup but it still does nothing. I don't know what the deal is. I may try reinstalling Shape Bender. The fact that it worked for you makes me think that something is wrong with my specific program (probably user error).

        Failure is the fertilizer of success.

          If you have the latest version of the Plugin installed and you follow the steps exactly as I outlined, then it should work just fine...

            Turns out I had installed it improperly. Thanks for helping me narrow down the problem. It's working great now.

              I'm having some of the same issues. I've reinstalled the newest version of shape bender. I have a straight line on the red axis, but it won't let me click on it. I've had the plugin work yesterday for me, so I am not sure what the issue is here.

              Here is the error that the Ruby console threw when I double clicked on the straight line:
              Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method all_connected' for nil:NilClass> C:/Users/charles/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/clf_shape_bender/clf_shape_bender_data.rb:255:in line_picker'

                At some point you have reset the model's axes.
                That will break tools like Shape-Bender.
                Hover over an axis away from other stuff.
                Context-menu > Reset.
                The original axis appear and the line etc are NOT parallel to the Red/X axis...
                Rotate those to suit and then Shape-Bender WILL work as advertised...

                    Additional advice...
                    Place the group/line/curve on the +ve quadrant of the axes...
                    And reverse the face in the group for tidiness...

                          It's fairly clear in your screenshot that the edge under the shape and the shape itself are not aligned along the red axis.

                              Have you changed the axes ?
                              If so reset them.
                              Then draw a line along the X [red] axis...
                              Try to preselect it, before running the tool ?

                                Attach the model so we can check it rather than guessing.
