Noooo, I never said get rid of bend clamped, sorry if it came across like that. And I did use Bend Clamped in the last two pics, you can see where I point out where I placed the various reference points.
I'm just saying can't we unify "Rod Top" and "Top Clamp"? within the Bend Clamped command
We do need Top and Bottom clamp the define the area to be deformed, just like you say. But with that said, what's the point of 'rod top' then? That's all I'm asking :}
Here's what you did in the video, but when it asks for "Top" (1:35ish or so) I can literally select any of the 15 edges on that side (except the one you picked as 'center') and end up with the same results.. So why not combine Top/Clamp Top into one?

EDIT: Oh God, you added a bunch, and Pzp Posted twice while I was putting this together (I'm slow
)
