after playing with BezGen recently, I've managed to get a complete hold on using it and implementing hoses in my models... but up until now i've only used the prefab-length hoses (part #73590B (URL) this is created in BezGen (or the old DOS-based (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) If you have MS Excel, John Van's hoser spreadsheet works wonderfully. It rotates sections as needed, and displays the length of the hose in one of the cells (I don't remember which--John?) By default, it uses the "official" hose sections, but (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I'm happy to hear that you found my program interesting, and I realize that LDraw-mode will not be a mainstream application by far (not yet anyway), as most people here don't seem to use Emacs. My program probably does fairly much the same as (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) actually, i think this sounds like the sort of thing that is just *ripe* to be a plug-in for MLCad once mike gets plug-ins implemented... personally i'd also like to see a plug-in sorter that allows you to sort pieces by location in 3D space, (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yep, I've used it for the Flex-System hoses and the ribbed hoses from the Technic line. But I'm sure it can be used to model most kinds of flexible elements in LEGO, possibly even the 11L chain links seen in many LEGO themes, if you are a bit (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) LDAO has a sort utility, but I belive it sorts left to right before back to front. --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ BramL@juno.com ---...---oooo-----(_...o---...--- WWW: (URL) (25 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Which can be solved by rotating the model before and after sorting, to switch left-right and front-back. I was thinking ONYX's request would be a good idea for adding to LDAO's sorter. Steve (25 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
