Here's an example file featuring a Technic Flex-System Hose at 120 LDU
length.  See lugnet.cad.dev for a reference.

The file names and descriptions are open for changes, obviously.  The
latter especially applies due to my bad English.

0 A Technic Flex-System Hose is typically seen curved in a model.  In
0 those cases, some part of the ends are normally fixed inside another
0 element, while the rest of the hose is bent.  The parts "HOSEEND.DAT"
0 are meant to model the straight parts of the hose ends.  To achieve
0 this, scale them to have the correct length (ie. 20LDU if they are
0 fixed inside a unit length connector) and place them at the end
0 points.  The parts "HOSESEG.DAT" are meant to model the rest of the
0 hose.  If the rest of the hose is curved, you would typically scale
0 the "HOSESEG.DAT" to a have a short length, eg. 4LDU, and use many of
0 them along the path of the curved hose.

0 In the example below, the end points are scaled to 20LDU length, while
0 the centre part of the hose is scaled to have 80LDU length, thus
0 filling out the rest of the hose.

Looks good. Your description/instructions is fine. Ditto for the ribbed hose part/subparts. Steve (...) (25 years ago, 4-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
