See video.

Trying to bend or flow a simple mesh so I made this example. Won’t work. Some jlr friends of mine say that they can do it in Matrix… hmmm not sure about that?

Your mesh is lacking definition. Here’s how things look with a box with 50 divisions in X direction:

Nice can you explain the divisions, is it just splitting the mesh?

Thanks

I created a new mesh box.

In contrast to a simple mesh box with 8 corners and clear topology, a brep box / polysurface consists of 6 surfaces.

So did you split the box into 50 divisions then meshed it, or meshed it then split. Not sure how you got the 50 divisions.. Can you explain that part. Thanks
