Nope, this is not possible in Vue. Not bending. Export is only available with the Pro series - Vue 4 Pro, 5 Studio Pro or Infinite. But because of the special mapping method of the leaves i question wether it is a good idea to export and then reimport the vegetation. In the pro version you have a plant editor where you can change most parameters of a plant, but bending is not in there. Shaping is, in a limited form. Each plant you create is different from the others, sometimes you even can get a palm variation with a bended trunk. I think the best is that you download a demo version - one of the Pro series - to see wether Vue does what you want it to. The best way to find that out.
