Good Morning! :) So I did a simple profile and extrude and I need a bend in it so I used the flex feature and it wants to automatically put a twist in it as well. I think this is because it is not a perfectly rectangular piece and it is putting the triad in the wrong place (a simple bend on a rect extrude won't twist). I assume I have to place it in another place. Any ideas on how to get it to stop twisting.

Swept cut on a rectangle solves it.
