I have made these steps and I'd like to fit them better to the curved shape of the structure they are attached to by bending them to a curve. Is there a tool that would allow me to do this in one go? How would one go about doing this?

I would Select the Edge I want the stairs to be,

enter image description here

Then I would duplicate the edge and convert it into a curve by pressing AltC - 'Curve from Mesh/Text',

enter image description here

and Finally I would give the stairs Curve Modifier, and as an object to deform with I would select my Curve.

don't forget to subdivide the stairs enter image description here

  • Thanks for this, but it doesn't work for me. Perhaps I am missing something you didn't mention. Even when I create a new mesh plane and attempt to do this, the curve modifier doesn't do anything except move my object to a point a mile away from where it was. What am I missing here? – marklovin Aug 07 '15 at 09:44
  • Select the object and move it where you want it to be, it will adjust by itself – A.D. Aug 07 '15 at 10:54
