"Sweep line" or "Bend" on thin plane, segmented object

Roman_K2

Tell me again how to bend a relatively thin, plane-like shape into an "S" shape.

I can't say that "Sweep Line" doesn't produce fantastic and interesting shapes (because it does!) but once again I'm baffled as to why a particular facet seems to extrude, seeming at random? I mean, why is that particular facet chosen?

I forgot to try the "Bend" tool.

I find it easier to draw the mesh up from the line.

Johnny Bravo did a video tutorial on ways to bend things in Hexagon -

The "S" shape, you might be better off starting with a circle and cut & paste it in half, move the bottom half over and snap it into position then weld both piece back together again, rotate.

Have a line, have the object.

Have the object selected, click Bend, click on the line

Very nicely done Ascania.

1.) Bingo!  Thanks.

2.) I tend to forget the protocols around various functions - if I go away from something and come back, er, months or years later it's all a mystery.  As in, I have have previously been aware of Bend being the way to go.

Another thing that happened was... I may have read Ascania's message on my cell phone... spotty coverage on my private island and I'm easily distracted. I don't think I saw the ZIP file until just now!!!

No private island, I'm just old and forgetful :)

Last I checked there were some choice properties available in the Outer Hebrides, no? <DUCKS>  </DUCKS>
