Video demonstrating flexible parts in LDCad - Philippe Hurbain - 2020-01-11
With the official launch of Spike Prime set, I was asked how to create cables in models... so I made this short video:

This is really helpful, thanks for posting it.
There's something that happens around 2:08 where you generate a new guide point (sorry if that's not the right terminology) and then move it into the part to guide the cable. How does that happen? Seems like a keyboard command?
Thanks,

Nice tutorial.
I noticed you sometimes find the 'umbrella' is in the way. You can hide it at any time with the p (pin) key.
