 | | Learning LSynth —Jetro de Chateau
|
| | | I'm trying to learn how to use LSynth and after reading the chapter about this tool in "Lego Software Power Tools" there are still a few things I can't seem to figure out. 1) What is the use of the RIGID_HOSE command? I can't seem to make it work. (...) (15 years ago, 26-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | (...) Instead of "RIGID HOSE", use "FLEX SYSTEM HOSE". They mean the same thing, but the second one actually works! Yes, you should always use the LS00 constraint part. In this case, 77.dat will be used to generate the hose which is just a short (...) (15 years ago, 26-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

| | | | (...) Thanks, so it's not just me not being able to get it to work :-) A related question: I'd like to render a Fiber Optic cable like the one in the Spybotics sets which is quite a bit thicker than the ones that came with the FOS. Any thoughts on (...) (15 years ago, 26-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

| | | | (...) I guess today is your lucky day because I have had to do something very similar. First of all, be aware that the LSynth primitives used for pneumatic tubing, flex tubing, flex cable, fiber optics, and rubber bands are all basically the same (...)

| | | | | (...) Jetro, The new LSynth (I am actively working on a release as of yesterday), does not have these problems, so there is no need for a new feature.

As long as adding the next segment does not push the overall angle beyond a an angle threshold, the next segment is merged with the current segment. (...)
