If your shape is bent the wrong way around, you can use the ‘Up’ arrow on your keyboard to toggle the curve, and the ‘Down’ arrow to toggle the line. It takes a few seconds or minutes, depending on how complex your model is, but you’ll see a green outline of your object over the bent or curved line.īecause it’s a mesh outline, you can’t really tell if your shape is bent facing the right direction, so take note that these ‘Start’ and ‘End’ labels match the ‘Start’ and ‘End’ labels on the original object.
