| (...) 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, (...)

| (...) 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 (...)
