Thanks

Thank you for this video. May I ask, are you aware of any method to create let's say, a hose of a defined length which is attached to a fixture at either end. Then you change the angle of the fixtures or move them to different locations and the hose automatically adjust its shape to keep the length the same? Essentially, a 3D spline or bridge curve with a length constraint. You can achieve this somewhat with the Optimization command, but it takes time to setup, you need to run it every time, and the converged result it not perfectly accurate.

This would have to be done with the mechanical routing package. I don't think this flexibility is achievable easily through the modeling methods.

Thank you for this great tutorial. You mentioned, that you can do this video tutorial also with bridge curve. It would be great if you can do this. Thanks Remo

Yes, you can definitely do this. It all depends on your shape however. Some bridge curves will work on some situations, but not on others. Do you have a sample in mind? You can definitely shoot it my way.
