I've just added a function to LDraw-mode which makes the process of
composing a bent 73590.DAT Hose Flexible 8.5L very easily. Here's what
you do:
Insert the end points where you want them. Here's an example:
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 750 .dat
1 16 0 0 60 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 750 .dat
(You can use 752.dat if you want the old style hose. I added a space in
the filenames above to "fool" the LUGNET NNTP server.)
Next, put the cursor on either of the lines above and hit CTR+C CTR+B.
That's all! LDraw-mode does all the nitty gritty work for you and
inserts the needed parts to achieve a bent hose to fit your end points.
LDraw-mode does some numerical optimization to find the correct length
of the hose, which may take some seconds on an old system.
LDraw-mode is free software and runs in the editor Emacs. Emacs is free
software available for "all" systems. Here's more information:
