You can’t. You can bend or rather extrude the cane shape. But not the revolved stripes… unless someone knows something I don’t. Painting the stripes in another programs could be done

Perhaps the stripes can be flat ribbon spiraled as for a screw?

Best,

Here’s a visual simulation. It’s not what it appears to be.

Like I said earlier, it’s not what it appears to be. I made ample use of the new Split Body tool.

Thanks!Happy Holidays.What I need is the bending function after rotation, not splitting the entity.

I think you are looking for the Sweep tool.

You want a “revolving sweep”. Or you want to bend things. That would be cool but not likely to happen. The complexity of making the action happen is prohibitive I would imagine. Maybe if there was scripting.

I tried sweeping 3 canes close to each other along a 1/2 circle. Then, the using the move tool to rotate their ends to twist them together. They will rotate about 5 or 6 degrees before it generates a error. So that method won’t work. Fun to try though. Twisting 3 straight rods together works but there is distortion.
