I guess that going with the assumption of small angle overlap,

chopped cylinder.

I'll add 4-4cyls.dat, so that shouldn't hold you back.
Also, in the coming version you can add primitives yourself.

Hi Lars.  Hey, I've got an idea.  Stop adding new features (for a
little while) and just release it.  ;^)  Pretty please with extra
sugar?

I was hoping to use 4-4cyls combined with with cylinders and have
*no* overlap.

Another way to achieve no overlap is the method I used in 30093.dat
"Plant See Grass": I simply placed spheres at the calculated points
and connected them using cylinders (spanning from point to point).

Nifty solution, but what if someone looks down the hose and sees it's
all blocked up with spheres so no air can get through?

Have fun,

Don
