Hello Kevin,

  I can fill the gaps between the two segments with two 4-4cyli.dat

What about using 4-4cyls primitives placed to the end of hose segments? Scale
their length to (hose diameter)*tan(angle/2). See example for a 30° angle:
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Philo/Misc/hose.png and
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Philo/Misc/hose.ldr

(I know, this is not a full solution, you need to rotate the 4-4cyls to align
them with the S0-S1-S2 plane...)

(...) Hi Philo, Good to hear from you. My mistake.... I am using 4-4cyls.dat. rotating them to align them with the S0-S1-S2 plane is what I don't know how to do. Thanks, Kevin (20 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi, I'm a much better arithmetician than mathemetician and have hit a wall with LSynth. In an attempt to reduce file size, I've written an algorithm that merges hose segments together (based on an angle error limit). This dramatically reduces file (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
