| | | 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)

| | | | (...) 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 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)
