I've created an element that represents a small segment of string. It's not
a real, legitimate LDraw part, per se, but I find it useful in my modeling.

Is it possible to get LSynth to use this element? I'm looking for it to be
treated similar to a rubber band in that I may want it to be (partly) wound
around constraining things like bushings or pulleys, but similarly to a • flex
tubing in that it will usually be open ended.

Not currently.

But since you've made the source for lsynth available, there's no reason
why Larry

Except for time/skill/interest. (mostly time)

I assume the lack of interest is in the coding, not the using :^)

I have a similar lack of time.

couldn't attempt to add the string part to the code himself
and then submit the patches to you for official approval.  Right?  Isn't
that the whole point of opening up the source code?

I'm thinking that just allowing for a level of indirection might do the
trick. If you added a way to just specify what part you wanted used for the
stringing together, and allowed it to be used instead of one of the defined
types, that might do the trick. Haven't actually looked at the code to see
if that makes sense or not.
