Hi all,

How do I synthesize a ribbed hose with the length of two?
So that it will fit between the two bushes, I thought something like this:

0
1 0 0 0 30 0 1 0 0 0 -1 -1 0 0 32073.DAT
1 7 0 0 0 0 -1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 3713.DAT
1 7 0 0 60 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 -1 3713.DAT
0 WRITE SYNTH BEGIN RIBBED_HOSE 1
1 2 0 0 45 0 0 -1 -1 0 0 0 1 0 LS00.DAT
1 2 0 0 22 0 0 -1 -1 0 0 0 1 0 LS00.DAT
0 WRITE SYNTH END
0

But that does not work. It generates a too short hose with segments in each
other.
Perhaps we should consider creating straight hoses with the length of 2, 3,
4, 5, etc. and make them official parts.
For bending use LSynth...

Any thoughts?

(...) As far as I know you can't specifiy the length of the hose in LSynth. If you want a hose of a fixed length between two points use my Beizer curves plugin for LDDesignPad: (URL) Fredrik's LDraw Major Mode for Emacs (URL) your case since the (...)

Hi Jaco, I don;t think that LSynth can make a hose that short due to some subtleties in the splining algorithm. For straight line hoses, you have direct control over length, by the placement of the contrainst as you have done. Sorry. Kevin (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
