Template for rope / cord / string
Would be nice, but unfortunately not (yet) available.
Here is an example from the train set 4564-1:
https://ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptscan.cgi?q=5...ope=header
(All important information is in the HELP section of the basic parts)
While it was still relatively easy to create this "straight" version with LDPE, it becomes almost impossible with arbitrary shapes.
At least I succeeded with C4d and a Python script, but unfortunately everything was "inlined" .... logically an extremely large file.
A proud 1,800 base parts along a Bezier spline with a continuous single twist of 22.5 ° and an overlap of 0.5 ldu.
Hopefully there will be a template at some point in which you can set these factors individually.
Still a few pictures about this:
It would of course be just as awesome to have such an option in LDPE with these parameters
basic subpart xyz
cloned 1799
twist 22.5
extension bezier spline reference
step 0.5 ldu
