Here is my suggestion for an update of the part 756.dat. See my post
http://www.lugnet.com/cad/dev/?n=4516
for a background story on why I think it should be updated.
You may worry that this part, having more rounded shapes and more
polygons, will make the rendering of a hose more CPU intensive. But
please keep in mind that a hose will only contain _one_ 756.dat, and
that there are approximately 50 754.dat's in the hose already, with
approximately 75% as many polygons each.
What do you think? Should the official part 756.dat be updated to
something like this?

0 Then a 755.dat End Section,
