[MLCad] Synthesis of Minifig, Utensil Stretcher Holder Flexible (30191/x169 )

[thire5]

Hello, 

I'd like to ask for help with LSynth. Has anyone ever managed to synhetize this flexible part in MLCad using Lsynth tool ?

 

I found the part entry in LDraw catalog http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/30191.dat also with three subparts, but I don't know how to use it. They even mention using it with LSynth. I just need to make simple bended shape like it's done in many sets, for example here:

Thank you for any help.

You need to add lsynth meta's for all 4 bars separately or make a submodel if all bars have the same shape.

I did something similar using my own LDCad, if you're interested I posted it on the LDraw forum as attachment restrictions on this site are very strict.

Thank you for your reply!

I finally had time to come back to my project. Unfortunatelly, I was not able to render this part correctly :(

I copied the files you provided into correct folders (templates, donors), I also tried to register new folder for Template and Donors in Prefs/LDraw but when I open the file test.mpd it's always missing the end parts. 

I'm not experienced in LDCad, I installed it as a part of LDraw-all-in-one pack (version 1.6a). 

My final goal is to import those bended hoses into stud.io, but it seems like there will be another obstacle https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-23006-post-29758.html#pid29758

You also need the unofficial LDraw library as those end connectors aren't official yet.

See

for how to register the unofficial library in ldcad.

It's basically the same as described in philo's ldraw forum thread only difference being this part exists out of 5 pieces, so you need to make sure all 5 are loose files.

Thanks for your help! 

I had to add those unofficial parts in the LDCad library and then also in "Custom parts" in stud.io.

Works perfectly.

I just found this video - it's in Mecabricks software. It looks very interesting.
