Is there a way to "slide/shift/translate" the bend along the plane without having to reapply the "bend" command? My issue is that I cannot seem to place the bend in such a way that where the bend begins is in the correct location. I can place the center of the bend correctly, but if the starts and stops of the bends need adjustment, I cannot move the bend. It seems I have to "reapply" it. The stretch command is not working for me. Norbert

The trick is to draw a line, where you want your bend to start, then use that line as the axis of your bend. If you then move the line, the bend will follow. I always keep his type of geometry on a seperate layer and NEVER delete it unless I have deleted the part, want it to lose its history.
