There's so many tutorials online I'm royally confused. Most are way more complicated than I think I need here .. but I am looking for the easiest way to bend or curve a 50 x 20 x 2 inch "plank" into a U shape. Then I want to add subdivisions and smooth to slightly round all the edges. Any suggestions?

$\begingroup$ Thus far I added a simple deform but it's bending on the wrong axis. I'll check it out - thank you sir! $\endgroup$– MarcCommented Aug 9, 2015 at 23:34

1$\begingroup$ Yes, can be a little tricky to use. Apply all transfrormations and remember that by default the bending axis is X. I think that also using the Warp tool is a good way to follow, give it a try. $\endgroup$– CarloCommented Aug 9, 2015 at 23:41

$\begingroup$ According to the directions on your link for adding Lattice -- There's no "Lattice Object" icon in v2.75. As seen here: i.sstatic.net/5Ppb1.png consequently when I just try adding a Lattice modifer nothing happens. $\endgroup$– MarcCommented Aug 9, 2015 at 23:57

$\begingroup$ Ok. I'll try the warp tool. Which I think is a deformer(?) So I add that Warp and then... nothing. I figit with the controls and nothing. When I click apply I get an error "Modifer is disabled, skipping apply" $\endgroup$– MarcCommented Aug 9, 2015 at 23:58
