Bend Tool selection names is confusing

[oort]

puzzledpaul,
I think it is an issue of my method used, maybe because I started using Bend before I started using Bend Clamped...

I have all verts in the object selected to start with.
Then I select a vert at the bottom of the object for Rod Center.
I select any vert on the same edge for Rod Top.
I select any vert on the same edge for Normal.
Then I select a vert on the same edge for Top Clamp Point and Bottom Clamp Point of the area to be bent.

I guess I shouldn't select all verts in the object. I should only select the verts that I want to bend above the part I want to keep straight. This prevents the problem I was having.

Playing with it a bit more... if all verts are selected I need to make sure that either the Top or Bottom Clamp Points is the same as the vert used for Rod Center... That fixes everything.
