Im new to Blender.

I have created a shape with a 'Circle Mesh' and am trying to use the curve modifier to curve the shape around a 'Circle Curve'.

When I do this it deforms it. Is there any way to add the horizontal and vertical lines?

Should I be creating this shape with a different mesh?

  • $\begingroup$ hello, you say that you want to curve your object then complain that it deforms? it's not clear what you're trying to achieve, could you please show a picture of what you would like to achieve? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Hey Moonboots! I want the shape to curve around the cylinder but have the face of the extrusion remain flat. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Have you tried changing the orientation of the shape? Could it be Blender doesn't know what face you're actually trying to make follow the curve? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Thank you guys for the replies! I ended up creating a plane with lots of subdivisions and just deleted the vertices outside of the shape. It now keeps its geometry around the curve WOOOHOOOO $\endgroup$
