(...) Hi Kevin, Another possibility to investigate is to change the up vector in inverse proportion to the bezier curve change. That would mean it would twist less where there's a sharper bend, and would possibly end up looking more authentic. But (...) (18 years ago, 26-Nov-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Leo, In case you didn't get this far, I solved the above problem and can now control twist all through a cable segment from start point to end point. I calculate the up vector for the start of segment, and the up vector for the end of segment. (...) (18 years ago, 26-Nov-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

i guess this would be the correct spot for the message. i have a install problem with LDAO. i install it, and when i stat it i get error 76 , path not found. (18 years ago, 26-Nov-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I've got up/side/front vector stuff working now, so that I can control the orientation of cross sections of electrical cables at the start of a segment defined by two constraints. My issue now is that I don't know how to force the twist so that the (...) (18 years ago, 24-Nov-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi, I've got a reworked version of LSynth with a major problem... I cannot figure out how to control the twist of the cross section. I use bezier curve to created the nicely curved set of points, and compress it by tossing out points until the angle (...) (18 years ago, 24-Nov-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

A sincere thanks to all of you. Your comments made me go back over (again) my export code, and I found an error. Now it works as expected. I was getting funny rotations because I mis-ordered the elements of the transformation matrix, duh. Seems (...) (18 years ago, 20-Nov-06, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
