Hello there, Im looking for an easier way to make a corrugated hose appear flexible. Is there a way I can use the follow me feature with this or any extension that could help? right now Im just exploding the component and manually angling each section to make the curve.
Thanks!
You could model a single corrugation of the hose as a component and then use Profile Builder or Path Copy to distribute copies of the component along a centerline path. I did that for this model.
Loc Line
You won’t get stretched and compressed areas in the hose as it bends but it should make the point OK
Three options spring to mind for me, each with it’s own pros and cons.
In no particular order.
