Hi Steve,

A new version is up, it will output a comment line such as // #declare 
bend_object = object {You have to select an object to bend}
:) and of course Moray will then output the original object, so in the case 
of the cylinder in the tutorial it will appear as if nothing had
happened, as you might expect. As an aside the way the plugin works is that 
it resets the objects Export flag when selected as a
Bend object so that Moray does not export it to the Pov scene file, the 
plugin then exports its own version of the object to the
bend include. So if no object is selected for the bend Moray will output it 
as normal.

Regards,

Keith
