I agree with you there, but LS00.dat needs to be made into a better
tool so you can really see what you're doing with it.  For starters,
maybe it should be transparent, with a line down the center axis, and
a bullseye surrounding the origin (where the hose starts)

Also, I had some trouble visualizing exactly where the hose would
start and end from the LS00.DAT constraint.  Maybe the actual
endpoints of the hose would be better illustrated by adding a bullseye
in a fixed color to the LS00.DAT constraint.

Well, the start and end points are at the LS00.DAT (isn't it obvious? LOL)

/ \ head
] [ stem
[_] base

The origin is where the base meets the stem.

Jennifer Clark suggested that we could put a disk between the base
and stem to indicate the origin of the part.

I'd make it transparent with a colorful center axis line. Put a disk
between the base and the stem with a colorful bullseye on it, and
maybe even make the base and the stem the same diameter tube since a
bullseye disk is a better indicator of the origin than the base-stem
split.  Hmmm, maybe I'll see if I can put this together tonight.

I envision something more like this.
