There is not a way to "bend" a shape into another using SketchUp. You have to work with one section at a time - extruding, scaling, moving as needed to . The closest thing to bending in SU is using the Follow Me Tool to extrude a section along a path.

Here is an example of extruding a number 6: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=f839e75b9cf6e2ed81d8764d42d39a9c

Thanks for your quick respond. That was very usefull.

But I still don´t no if it is possible to bend an organic shape like the chair (http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details? mid=557b16b75dbcd41934) out of a predetermined figure like a number or a letter or a question mark etc.?
