Hi
I’m trying to follow the tutorial here for making rope
I’m fairly sure I’ve followed every step, however only two strands of the rope twist rather than all three, as in the screenshot below.
I’ve attached the blend file, if anybody has the time to take a look and can let me know what I’m doing wrong I’d be grateful
Best wishes

The problem is the origin of your object isn’t at its center, and the Simple Deform by default will use the origin for its work (notice there’s a “Origin” slot in the Simple Deform modifier for which you can use a different point for the origin)
A simple fix is to select those 3 vertices :
Press SHIFT + S -> Cursor to Selected :
Then go to Object Mode, at the Tools tab, click on Origin -> Origin to 3D Cursor
And you’ll notice the Simple Deform will then do the work you’re wanting
Thanks Sanctuary
