I highly recommend Fredrik's LDraw-Mode. It will take you a little while
to find the Emacs stuff and install it, plus some time to figure out how
to bend stuff. But once you make the initial investment it is very easy

Technic smooth hose
Electric wires
Pneumatic tubing
Fibre-optic strands
Technic pulley rubber bands
Fredrik's site has enough instructions to get you going w/ LDraw-Mode.

| (...) Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to know. How do you go about creating eliptic tori to simulate a pully band tunnign from A to B. Thank You! Greetings, Da Byte (23 years ago, 18-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
