I got the wire function to work, but I have a suggestion. It would be
nice to be able to add control points to shape the wire differently, in
order to avoid pieces of the model. I'm guessing that the program uses
the piece of wire included with the contact part to establish the control
point, but this is often not how the wire behaves IRL.
It might even be time to consider removing the piece of wire from the
contact part. Often in models the wire bends sharply immediately from the
contact brick.
In any case, thanks for this great program. After investing a few hours
assembling the neccessary programs and learning the basics of Emacs, your
LDraw-mode is very easy to use.
