    Wires anyone? —John VanZwieten
   Has anyone tried to make the flexible electric wires that run between the electric elements? I have a bunch of these to do, and I'd like to find the best (easiest/fastest/nicest looking) way to do them. -John Van (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad)

   (...) Manfred Moolhuysen made a subpart that can be used to compose a curved electrical wire. I believe he has submitted it for voting, but I don't think he has posted it to the newsgroups. I have edited LDraw-mode for Emacs to support easy (...) (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad)

   (...) I don't have the said part right here right now, but if Manfred hasn't posted it by this evening, I'll see if I can dig it out of my personal computer to send it to you. Manfred would probably not mind this. (...) No, unfortunately I haven't. (...) (24 years ago, 22-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad)

        Re: Wires anyone? —Fredrik Glöckner
   (...) Yes, I totally agree. The subject of using multiple control points for flexible elements has been discussed here recently. However, I think that the multiple control points approach is best suited interactive CAD-like applications. It would be (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad)

        Re: Wires anyone? —Fredrik Glöckner
   (...) Are you sure about that? As I say in the documentation for the Bezier curve generator (follow the link which is called "Advanced useage"), the placement of the control points are not actually used, only the vector from the start to the control (...)
