Paths Don't Match Shape After Warp Twist

Question

In CS5, after applying Effect>Warp>Twist, my green "sunburst" became a green "twirl". That's what I wanted. However, the path's didn't twist with it. I need the paths to match. Does anyone have any idea how I can do this without tracing it with the pen tool? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Answer 1

Zolland,
Post #3 was a late answer to the OP.
Longer explanation: This swirl is going to wind up inside of an oval. I create a box to surround it all, cut the oval out of the box, and then try to use the remaining box to trim the swirl. Unfortunately, when I try to "Minus Front" to trim, it gives me a result that doesn't work (because it's using the paths). Visual here:
You may:
1) Create a circular sunburst concentric with the oval;
2) Apply the Twist Tool;
3) Elongate/change the size of 2) until it is larger than and matches the oval;
4) Create a copy of the oval (and lock the original) in front of 3) and Object>Path>Divide Objects below;
5) Delete the snip offs.
This should give nicer and cleaner shapes than the ones shown in the OP.
