    Hi,

    I have attached jpegs of what I’m looking to do, as well as the C4D Project with my current attempt. I’m attempting to turn a straight paper into a rolled up piece of paper. It seems like it should be simple, using a Plane object and a Spline Wrap. But it seems to reverse the width and height on my plane object. Also, when I try to use the Strength attribute, rather than Offset, it kind of bends it into place rather than having it roll into place. When I use the offset option, it has the paper come out as a diagonal. (I realize that might be the way my spline is drawn, though). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Best,
    Sean Kimber

    Set the height of your helix spline to 0 and set the bank parameter in the spline wrap to 0. That should do it.
