Hi,
I wanted to know if you are able to bend prims within SL. I want to create a chair and want to bend a prim so that the chairs back and bottom are in once piece without linking to separate pieces. Can someone help???????

You can not "bend" prims beyond the standard methods, i.e. taper, path cut, twist, ... what you intend to do can be achieved by using sculpted prims. there are many tutorials and many software tools available, see other threads in this forum. For a beginning you can look at /8/8d/196863/1.html

flex prim!
wind 0;
drag 0;
gravity 0; only if it is not always upright
apply some constant force and play with other values.

I think flexi prims are phantom. You won't be able to sit on them.

You can sit on regular phantom prims. Flexis can be sat on if you define a sit target.
