Bending a Box

[himizu]

if your trying to make a dna string, i'g go with the twist modifier.
better yet, create a spline path the long skinny box to it. this tutorial, though meant for tentacle making, shows you how to do this:

Thanks for the link.

I have used the twist modifier but I get an inadequate result.

it's all in the fine tuning ... and you should also consider using multiple operators on top of each other to get more controlable results!

Your problem might be the fact that you do not have enough geometry in your box to see the bend. Try uping the amount of faces in your box before you apply the bend.

I think EricG has the answer to my problem. I had hardly any faces. Also thanks to others who participated.
