I have 2 objects that were drawn in Cad07 and imported to Viz that I am looking to bend at different points to create a weave looking object.

I have tried the twist, wave and bend command but cannot achieve what I want. Please help!!!

Below shows what I have and how I am looking to bend them...10183

the Purple and greens layers are to bend and create the weave as below10184

I don't know anythiing about Viz, but if I were doing this in Max, I would Detach the purple from the green. The Twist, Wave and Bend modifiers are not going to give you the precise results you need for this operation, so I would manually weave the meshes around the poles. Then, when finished, I would apply a Mesh Smooth modifier to smooth out the results.

They are on seperate layers, max is very similar to viz, so how would I manually weave them?

cheers

Can you post a wireframe view of the model? I need to see what your mesh looks like.
