Looks good.  Your description/instructions is fine.

Ditto for the ribbed hose part/subparts.

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.

(...) I'm happy to hear that. Err... Do you want me to submit them to your "partsref" email for possible future inclusion in an official update? Fredrik (25 years ago, 4-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
