Reply To: Why does the Local X-Axis Have to Point Up?

[Martin Bergwerf]

Hi Nolan,

that is indeed not completely straightforward; maybe the Manual can help:

Mind you, there is a typo in the third picture (c), that shoulb be Local axis Y points to the right…

I usually use an Empty as Origin in the Modifier, that way I can Rotate and Move the Empty to get more and ‘easier’ Control over the Bending.
