To add flexible parts for the hoses, etc., just drag them in from the "templates" part bin like any other part. (Or you can keep using INS, just be sure the template you want is selected in the part bin first.) Then you can go into nested editing and move the control points around where you need them.

Another thing I notice is that a lot of your parts use color 16; you'll want to assign them their proper physical color. You can select one part and then choose Select->Working part and color (in LDCad) to assign a whole bunch at once.

So I mainly work with LeoCAD and the color issue is from going back and forth between LDCad and LeoCAD. LeoCAD shows all the hoses correctly bent, but LDCad shows them in default configuration. I definitely had issues with inserting control points with the rubber bands. This is the reason I asked for help bending the rubber band and the gas hose because after I get those completed I can go back to LeoCAD and correct the coloring issue that keeps arising when I switch back and forth between these apps when trying to do advanced editing. I do understand how to accomplish the bending, however the issue with the LDCad program is when I go to nested editing => select the new rubber band and hide anything in the view of the center => select center => push 'insert' is suppose to add a new control point, however it just adds a new rubber band.

Is there someone no-so-intuitive I am doing wrong?
