Thanks for the input guys. I think what I'll do is start from scratch and try to do things the proper way. Again, this was only my 2nd design ever on SU and in 3d at all. I'm going to take everyone's advice here and see if I can make this new version much, much cleaner.
Thanks for the input! I appreciate it.
I'm hoping you guys might be able to help me out on this crash I'm getting while using Shape Bender. I'm trying to make a bangle/cuff bracelet for a friend's bday. I've designed the bracelet as a flat bar, and then was going to use shape bender to curve it into a bracelet shape. When I run Shape Bender, it says that it's calculating the curve and angles, and that it's breaking the component into 13 pieces, and then shortly after it starts processing, it just crashes.
I've tried rescaling the component so that it's true to size, and I still get the same crash. I'm at a stand still right now and don't know if it's a problem with SketchUp or Shape Bender. I'm still a total design newb (this is only the 2nd thing I've designed), so there is a great chance there is a flaw with my work.
I've attached the file I'm working with if anyone wants to try to bend it and see if they get the same crash. Any help or words of wisdom are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
