Hi

Maybe you need a special feature, go into Macros_recipes and Code_snippets, Topological_data_scripting.

I looked at the file...I don't get the frog hair bit. :?:

Is it supposed to address routing a twisted cable through a chassis? Like the video I posted?

I see it is three wires on a helix.

;) :?
confused...nothing new about that though.

Sorry I was answering Mario on how to make the green / yellow thread
increasing the diameter of a frog hair (un poil de cul de grenouille* en français :lol: ) means that the diameter of the yello arc of wire is 0.1mm larger
*very short dimension whithout unite

Aha...in the US we have a different slang for that...but, it is a bit sexist and has fallen to disuse. :mrgreen:
