To use Shape Bender successfully, you must have these three components in your model: The Object to Bend : A group or component (e.g., 3D Text). A Straight Reference Line : A single line drawn along the that represents the length of your object. A Target Curve : The arc or curve that you want the text to follow. Step-by-Step Guide Prepare the 3D Text : Create your text using the 3D Text Tool . Ensure it is a single group or component. Draw the Reference Line plugin sketchup shape bender

While Shape Bender is free (donationware), it has not been updated for a long time. Some newer plugins have emerged:

In practice, doing this natively in SketchUp—without plugins—is a nightmare of manual vertex pushing, rotating, and mathematical guesswork.
