    In the more recent version of Maya the sweep mesh tool has been added to create cables: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a6CG0Nlwf9fPn6w.htmlsi=4MhNTLgR6AIJWWEN

    I'm having similar issues as someone else; the cord doesn't snap to the EP curve. I've remade a few curves, but it just deforms horribly far off of the curve. I have the plugin enabled, so I have no idea why it wants to bug out so much.

    Hey, did you make sure to delete your history and combine the mesh into one? Also did you make sure you first selected the mesh and then the curve second before applying the warp?

    you need to zero out the rotation on the mesh first

    Hey Emily, Make sure that your curve is flat on the grid and not floating in space...

    when i goto attribute editor and try to reduce the subdiv axis to 8 like u did it changes its shape and upper part becomes pointed like a cone. why?

    This happens sometimes when you don’t have enough geo to hold the shape… just add more than you need and then quickly go through and delete the extra edges. Hold ctrl double click extra edges and delete.

    Hey 👋 it’s hard to help without seeing… maybe try to center your pivot or make sure your soft selection is not active. If you still need help feel free to send me your Maya file so I can take a look.

    hello, why can't I find the curve warp option under deform even though I went into animation? I get a bunch of options but not that one. I saw only warp but that did not work. Any suggestions of what I might be doing wrong? Thank you

    Since a bunch of people here are struggling, here's the key to getting the Curve Warp to work properly: *the mesh must have 0,0,0 rotation*
