  Re: LSynth 2.0 Available
 
Hi Jaco, I started out on the wrong approach to synthesized hoses and rubber bands, where I used LDraw parts to create the bands and tubes. In most cases I don't need new parts, I just need to use a cylinder (or square) primitive and scale it as (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

(...) For non fixed length parts such as hoses the constraint part work beautifully. What I'm talking about is the fixed length flexble axles and ribbed hoses. The shape of the curve structure betwwen two point is dependent on the length of the part (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

OK! I downloaded it again and it works! It is a great program. I especially like the option to create chains.

Some comment about L-Synth: -I Really like the rubber bands\treads\chain feature. This is insanely useful. -I'm not so wild about the flex axle/ribbed hose implementation.

Nope, just guessing... because your first post just said "I redownloaded it and it worked" without the addtional info this post had, that it wasn't working for you and that you reuploaded and redownloaded...
