What's the easiest way to form bendilble object in the DAT format?  I found
a utility for hose part 754 but nothing for tubes, hoses in various Technis
sets, flexible axles, etc...  Is there another utility out there?
Also, on a side note, I'm trying to use Rhino to render parts.  Does anyone
know the size settings I need to use in Rhino in order to successfully
convert to a useable part using stl2dat?

If Rhino can only produce stl data in the positive quadrant, stl2dat can change the origin in the dat file with the -o x y z option. The most tricky point (...)
