CLF Shape Bender
Bend a group or component to match an existing curve.
CLF Shape Bender
Create a shape to bend. It must be a group or a component. Then select a single horizontal (red axis) line to use as the base for bending. Then select the curve that the shape will bend to match. Wait for it to think, then it will show a grid and preview of where your object is going to transform to. Press the UP Arrow key to toggle the orientation of the bend.
Access the plugin via Plugins > Chris Fullmer Tools > Shape Bender, or there is a Shape Bender toolbar.

I had a problem at first with my group "exploding" all over the place after the transformation. I moved the shape to origin and drew the line directly on the red axis as others have suggested and it worked great.
I needed to bend my shape to a dome, I did this by first bending it to an arc, and then moving the bent form back to the start position and rotating it 90°. Bend again... dome! Very pleased.
Thank you Chris!
For anyone still have any
For anyone still have any problem with this plugin (after doing exact same thing as the video tutorial), try to start using this plugin in completely new file. I encountered problem with "red axis" and "raw surface" when i working on my existing file, then i try again in a new empty file, do exact same steps, and it works perfectly fine. Maybe it helps?
When I tried to select the
When I tried to select the first line after the Group it said 'select a line that has been drawn on the red axis'. It looked like I had done, so I am a bit stuck!

Why does my group being bend
Why does my group being bend switch sides of the bend-to curve? Bends to curve find then, the last six segments of the line, switch to other side.
Been working on it for days. Rarely it'll work. Tried all kinds of new curves, looking for errant lines, etc.
I am trying to download this
I am trying to download this extension but running into a problem. Everytime I download an ext. the download immediately recognizes it as a sketch up file. when I select the download from the list it tries to open sketch up and load a model... and of the program puts up a message that it does not recognize the file as a sketch up model. Not sure what is going on here but I am sure it is a simple fix for a pro. I am a user but not used to plugins and extensions.

I'm getting errors from
I'm getting errors from SolidSolver when trying to make the bent shape solid for 3D printing.
First SolidSolver says: The form has been 'intersected'.
Next it says: There are 60 coplanar edges. Remove them?
At this point, SolidSolver has already removed part of the shape.
Can you help me with this? I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Chris, this is absolutely
Hi Chris, this is absolutely great. Exactly what I would need, but ... :)
I´m getting everything to work up until the green indication how the final result will look like, so I know the thing must work, however... Once I push "enter" to confirm, the green lines disappear and I´m left with my curved line.
Am I doing something wrong ? The reference block in the previous step shows an all blue grid (not red and blue). Thanks in advance for the reply.
