      I think the best is to use this plugin in and "empty" file. f you make a component of what you want to bend then align the component axes according how the plugin should work then you can right click > save as... and open the new file, you can experiment without any risk then when done, in the original model, right click again and "reload".

      YEP it works .... in fact , just needed an empty file ... @ Chris F. : i think the axis were changed , that was my problem !

      Thanks for your help dudes!!!

      You need three things to use the tool
      A Group or Component-instance.
      A Line drawn along the red-axis to determine the extent of the actions.
      A Curve [e.g. an Arc] - this is often drawn to have similar extents as the Line [but not necessarily].

      Preselect the Group/Component.
      Run the tool and follow the prompts.
      Pick the Line.
      Pick the Curve.
      Toggle the 'Ends' using the Arrow-Keys etc as prompted etc...[attachment=0:rnii52fu]<!-- ia0 -->Capture.PNG<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:rnii52fu]

      I EXACTLY DO AS YOU SHOW ... but Can t select the "lone line on the red axis" , as sketchup does not notice it .. always the same error message
