Hello @Anonymous

Thank you for your post!

I did some research for you and unfortunately I was not able to find any in our content that reflects that sliding or varying length connectors mentioned in your post.

The item could be built using the standard CID, connectors as well, but connecting them together with a sliding length is going to be complex and may not be worth the headache.

I do think that this is a good idea for our Fabrication Ideas page, if you post there and send me the link I can vote up your idea.

Otherwise you may want to contact a re-seller and see if they are willing to build such content for you or they may already have it.

Well, I was messing around with connection types and I can emulate the KB duct with "Flange" to "Flange Clamp" connectors. While it doesn't render exactly right (meaning it doesn't look like kb duct physically in the model) it really doesn't matter because it's geometrically correct. I don't know that its really worth the idea board because this is such a specialized duct type. If it ever became more popular though then it'd be worth requesting. Thank you for your response.
