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 electrical
cable cross sections at the end of a segment (at the second constraint) are
aligned with the second constraint.

I can get the start to look good, but don't know how to make the ends line up
correctly.

Constraint->crossection|crosssection|crosssection->Constraint...

The first cross sections are properly aligned with the first constraints, but
the ending cross sections are not aligned with the second constraint.

Anyone have any ideas on what to do to have the end be properly constrainted?

Kevin

(...) 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)

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)
