Maya bend deformer not working properly

gilesruscoe

Trying to bend a tire tread into a loop to fit around a wheel, but instead of bending it into shape correctly it's just offsetting each half Any idea's as to why its doing this?



edit: balls, double posted, sorry!

Your reference line (the straight one) should be aligned with the tracks shouldn't they? Try rotating the bend representation to align it properly. Not sure if this is the only issue at hand here, but that seems wrong to me either way.
