I have tried many ways to do a ribbon-like bend (see images). This software struggles a bit with less uniform shapes like a twisted/tilted whatever non-u-shaped bend ‘Sketches’ are very rigid and 2-dimensional. It takes ages to create planes and drawings that intersect with each other; otherwise, ‘Loft’ or ‘Sweep’ are not very happy to follow.
So this is a challenge to anyone in this community who would like to find a workaround with current tools and a scenario for the Shapr3D team.

Nice! Getting there, what methodology did you use? Made a U-Shape than moved the body/a face? Mine was freaking out and not forming properly. Maybe on ipad acts differently.
I try to avoid using the Move/Rotate tool. I didn’t use it here either. The last screenshot shows the list of actions I performed (1 sketch and 6 simple actions, everything is parametric).
It’s exactly the same on the iPad. I used to have one, so I was able to compare, but I decided to sell it and now I work only on a Mac.
