Plugin Sketchup Shape Bender [patched] May 2026

While SketchUp excels at rectilinear modeling, bending geometry natively is a challenge. Shape Bender solves this by using a "base-to-target" logic:

Select your group or component. Ensure it is aligned lengthwise along the Red Axis . Draw the Reference Lines: plugin sketchup shape bender

Go to (or click the icon in the toolbar). Select the Path: While SketchUp excels at rectilinear modeling

Draw a straight line parallel to the red axis under or through your object (the Base Line). plugin sketchup shape bender

The smoothness of the final bent object is determined by the number of segments in your target curve. Use the "Entity Info" panel to increase curve segments for better results.
