Hi Willy,
Hah! RTFM! *The book* "LEGO Software Power Tools" makes it clear that
LS00.DAT is the only constraint associated with hoses. Sorry, just in a good
mood, because I just finished up rewriting the band synthesis code and made it
much more robust.
LS00.DAT is needed as a constraint.
LS30.DAT is to be used by CAD users for the thick end of a fiber optic cable,
but not as a synthesis constraint.
LS40.DAT is to be used by CAD users for Flex Axle end, but not as a synthesis
constraint.
These unoffical parts are used by the tube synthesis process:
STRING.DAT (from Larry)
LS20.DAT (pneumatic hose)
LS21.DAT
LS10.DAT (exectric cable cross section)
LS32.DAT (small fiber optic cable end
