Wire Block Simulation

[ChristianGa]

A few month ago I saw several nifty solutions in a post here to dynamicly make one side of a wire/tube longer when the other got shorter, so that it was possible to simulate the movenment of 2 wires around a wire block with the mouse.

Unfortunately I was not able to find it again.

Can anybody find it or post it again?

Kind regards,
Christian

This German video may not be the solution you were thinking of but may have some pointers that you can use.
If I find anything else I'll drop a link for it here.

edit: Here is a thread about making a Torus coil. @idslk created script and it is. uploaded on post #13.

Thanks for your reply, Harrold.

Unfortunately it is not what I am searching for.

Kind regards,
Christian
