Does anyone know how to bend a 3D rectangle so that it doesn’t have a sharp bend ??? and also to cut off a piece of the rectangle. Thanks.

Can you be clearer exactly what you mean. Bend ? bend how ? What triangle ? 3D rectangle ? Do you mean a cube ?

What kind of a bend are you hoping to achieve? Were you wanting something where you were wanting it to gradually follow a curve, or is this a situation where you are trying to get something like a mitered corner? If you wanted a situation where it would bend along a path or curve, you would subdivide in editmode a few times to add vertices, and then you would draw a curve and add a curve modifier to that rectangle that you want to bend using that curve object as your guide. Now, if you wanted to do a mitered corner, you would select the end of your object that you want to modify, and you would use the command “shear”, and then it would create that mitered end. A shear with a value of 1 would give you a 45 degree angled miter.
