      Last night I was trying to make a square, about 48" long, after messing around quite a while, I managed to use a curve and a entity of the shape I wanted. I was thinking there has to be a better way. Here is what I wanted to do, take an entity such as a square block, bend it about 12.5 degrees, in the center, but the bend has to be curved, not sharp.
      Any plugins that will do this?

        For most accurate results you may find it better to model the radii using arcs. However if you want to bend something like this, I'd look at Fredoscale Radial Bending. Not that the plugin can't be accurate, it just may take some tries to learn how to apply it to your shape accurately.
