Uhh. Posing along bendy hose or rope or line is a $%^&*. I have written to Technical Support Manager tech@curiouslabs.com about that. Trying to reroute an IK-chain by moving an intermediate segment is like wrestling with a large incooperative python. What we need is for an IK-chain to be ONE long segment and the user to be able to set its position and direction at any number of places along its route.
