Remember that first you need to place the hose ends in the model • yourself.
Then determine the x,y,z of the "top" of each hose end.  These will be • the
endpoints for hoser.  Add the control points, and hoser will calculate • the
position and rotation matrix for the hose sections.

Sorry for interrupting.  Just out of curiosity, I would like to ask if
you use the end and control points the user chooses to compose the
Bezier curve, or if you alter the control points to achieve the proper
length of the curved hose?


The user supplied end and control points are used, regardless of the resulting
hose length.  The intermediate points are "normalized" to be more or less
equidistant along the bezier curve.  It would be nice if it could fix the
length too.
