Bending a honeycomb holed sheet
-
Hi Sketchup Gurus,
I've got a flat sheet with honeycomb holes created. I would now like to bend the sheet on both sides to create a "U" shape but don't know what's the best way to do it. Is there an extension that can do this easily?
Thank you.

You could try CLF Shape Bender. Read the instructions carerfully. You'll need to make it a component with the proper orientation.
Or you could try Radial Bend from FredoScale.

Another option, depending on the finished result you are after.
Create the U shape with a suitable set of faces then use Components to faces to set the hexagons, I think this may be the only option that doesn't somehow distort your shapes. -

Use a texture instead of the geometry and apply it to a U-shaped face.
