    Re: LSynth electric cable cross section oriention problem —Kevin L. Clague
   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)
   
        Re: LSynth electric cable cross section oriention problem —Kevin L. Clague
   (...) 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)
   
        Re: LSynth electric cable cross section oriention problem —Ross Crawford
   (...) 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)
