I am trying to bend shape a few degrees using Modifiers -> Simple Deform -> Bend. However, instead of bending my shape into a semi-circle, this modifier keeps bending my shape into a wedge. I have tried moving the origin of my shape and rotating my shape, but I always get some sort of a wedge. I have tried slicing the shape.I have also tried changing the angle of the bend. What am I doing wrong?

$\begingroup$ Hello ! I assume this is the default cube ? The simple deform modifier doesn't add any geometry. Try adding a few loop cuts in edit mode along the Z axis $\endgroup$– GorgiousCommented Nov 29, 2023 at 14:01

$\begingroup$ Did you subdivide your shape? $\endgroup$– JacoCommented Nov 29, 2023 at 14:01

$\begingroup$ How do you want it to bend? $\endgroup$– moonbootsCommented Nov 29, 2023 at 14:19

$\begingroup$ @Gorgious I added 8 loop cuts in both the x and y directions. I said slices in my question, but I meant loop cuts. $\endgroup$– PetSvenCommented Nov 29, 2023 at 14:20

$\begingroup$ @moonboots I want it to arc slightly, like 10 degrees, along the x-axis. $\endgroup$– PetSvenCommented Nov 29, 2023 at 14:22

If you want it to bend on X you'll need some horizontal edge loops:
