Hello,
I'm trying to get a Powered Up train motor with a flexible cable into my .mpd so I can build instructions showing where to run the cable.
As far as I can tell, the Powered Up Train motor is not available in LDraw, but the Power Functions train motor (unofficial 87574) is a good approximation. However this part does not have a cable and plug. I understand a bit about how flexible parts work in LDCad, but I can't seem to find the right part to use to generate the cable. None of the parts I have found seem to allow me to add guide points. So two questions:
1) Is adding a flexible cable to 87574 the right approach?
2) What part do I use to serve as the basis for the cable that I can stretch?
Thanks!
