Riged 3mm hose - Roland Melkert - 2014-10-02
Hi all,
I'm trying to make a LDCad template for the bendable 3mm technic bar / hoses (e.g. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=75c12)
For this I'm making two donor files (segment and cap), but I'm a bit stuck regarding primitives while trying to make the cap.
Currently I have this:
Code:
0 //Tube
1 16 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 4 4-4cyli.dat
0 BFC INVERTNEXT
1 16 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 3 4-4cyli.dat
0 //Cap
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 4-4ring3.datBut I don't think it's right. I think the ring needs to be thicker, but as far I see/understand there are only 1ldu primitives of rings?
What is the part author way of doing this? Or do I just add a couple of type 3 lines for a custom ring?

I'm not sure if the flex system hoses are identical to the rigid hoses.
They look similar enough though, so (looking at u9053.dat) to get a thicker ring you have to use scaling? I guess I didn't think elemental enough
Thanks Michael I think I just use the flex hose measurements for now in a copy.

Maybe this page tells us the differences: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?q=hose
Re: Riged 3mm hose - Michael Heidemann - 2014-10-03
I just found our old 75.dat (please see the bricklink name) that has moved to 76279.dat.
So it seems they are the same.
Re: Riged 3mm hose - Philippe Hurbain - 2014-10-03
Yes, AFAIK they are the same.
