(...) In LDView, I do a few things. First, I check to see if the file I just loaded is a part. In order to be a part, it has to satisfy two criteria. First, it can't be the child of a part. Second, it has to either be in the LDraw Parts directory, (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) OK. Here's my rather convoluted analysis: 1. Find the plane of pulley A 2. Find the plane of pulley B 3. If they dont intersect, no tangent so stop here 4. Find the angle between them, call it T 5. Find the normal to plane A that passes (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I have a child in fourth grade, and like many his age, he is a natural born lawyer looking for loopholes, so 'm well versed in the tactic because it is hard to resist.... If you notice my original post, I didn't even mention pulleys, I just asked (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Don, I'm assuming four pulleys in this case. Two are parallel to each other where the rubber band bends to be non-planar, and two others that pull the band around the two parallel pulleys. Kevin (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Don, this is what I do for planar rubber bands and it works great if the two pulleys are in the same plane. But I can imagine a four pulley configuration where the first pulley is parallel to the YZ plane, the second pulley is parallel to the (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) It sounds like you want the intersection point of the 2nd circle with the plane of the first circle. I guess that should be exactly one point unless they're in the same plane. However, I don't see how the rubber band gets back to the first (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
