I'm trying to bend this thingy around a curve, is that possible?

    you can’t bend things. You have to model them bent

    I would love for Onshape to add tools to taper, flex, and otherwise distort geometry like this.

    I have been working on geometry distortion tools, but alas there's a WoW patch dropping next week so development has really slowed down.

    hahaha I am excited to see what you come up with. I do think there's a lot more power for deformations available with Parasolid, but not exposed yet to FeatureScript.
