"...included "pattern_7"...", eh?
Haven't tried it but will a bitmap follow a path like that and look right?
Didn't think so but could be wrong.
I did say that I hoped his tube didn't need to be too long. That solution is
indeed somewhat less than elegant but don't think I know one is.

Draco,
If you really need a convoluted hose then do as Larry's example.
If you just want it to look like a convoluted hose then look into textures.
The included "pattern_7" will get you started.
It took my workstation about 5 minutes to rebuild Larry's rect pattern, so
if you have many of these, it could well kill your assembly.

You take the time to adjust the shape a bit (I didn't) maybe you could do
something like the attached ... but hope it's not too long a hose. Remember
though ... there are also other ways to get the path this is just one.

Hello Larry,
That hose file looks good and certainly has a 'natural' flow to it that I am
looking for. However, I wanted a convoluted hose by that I mean a
corrugated or ribbed type,
if you understand what I mean?
