Suggestions for new primitives: Flex-System hoses.

I think it would be useful to have new primitives for the flex system
hoses.  I'm talking about the 8 LDU thick flexible straw-like elements
which are used as decorative elements or as hoses for the Flex-System.

What we would need are two elements:

  One open ended hose which can be scaled to fit the desired length, or
  used as many segments to model a curved, bent hose.

  One end segment which is closed.

Since the end of the hoses are often stuck into a "hole", the ends are
often straight, while the rest of the hose is curved.  It would
therefore be a good idea to let the end segments have "some" length (eg
1 LDU) so that they can be scaled to have the desired straight length
inside the "hole".

Here are my suggestions, the names may very well be changed, obviously:

  0 Technic Flex-System Hose with One End Closed
  0 Name: HOSEEND.DAT

   1 16 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 4-4CYLI.DAT
   1 16 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 4 4-4CYLI.DAT
   1 16 0 1 0 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 4 4-4EDGE.DAT
   1 16 0 1 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 4-4EDGE.DAT

Sounds like a good idea. We should do a similar thing for the ribbed hoses. Steve (...) (25 years ago, 1-May-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
