I have two rectangles that I want to smoothly curve along the green line I've marked.

Ends (marked red circles) must stay in place.

How do I do this? I am begginer to Blender.

I've joined the two rectangles and tried to bevel the edges but the outer edge is limited to where the edges actually joined and the inner edge I can't even bevel.

    $\begingroup$ If you do the green curve it needs to be one object, not 2. You could use a bevel on a L shape then extrude along normals to give it thickness? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Have to be careful with this method as the user might unintentionally flip the normals like this snipboard.io/BYqpfG.jpg $\endgroup$

Merge the faces on the sides like this:

You can also start only with the top rectangle without the curve part and use the spin tool to curve it 90º
