Here's something new I'm working on. Not really good yet.... it's a new way of placing a wire or rope where you want it.
Top image shows the figure in default form. Put the figure in the right general location, pointing the right general way. Not critical.
Then (middle image) pull the end segments where you want them, to fit into binding posts or plugs or whatever. Pull any two other segments out to suggest the directions you want, sort of like body handles.
Then click the script, and Presto! The whole thing Beziers into place, with all segments evenly distributed and angled.
I'm really trying for a self-locating wire that senses the positions of the plugs and finds its own way. This is a first stage.
