Right now, there isn't any good way to handle rubber bands in L-CAD programs.
LDraw's language was written to handle objects that don't change size or shape.
The current popular approach to strings, rubber bands, tubes, hoses, etc. is
to avoid them.
The second most popular approach is to make a custom part-file (or a submodel
file) for the rubber band, in the shape you need. Unfortunately, tools like
MLCAD won't help you with this. And I don't think the current tools for
bendable parts (like the hoser spreadsheet) will really help with rubber bands.
