I see you are at version 0.5.5.3 now. Curious how the first yellow tube looks flat in the last part, but the tool looks amazingly easy to use.

[xSergio74]

Yes, I know there is a bug in displaying Flex when having a specific degree curves.
Anyway I actually prefer improve usability and then fix graphics since they are not limiting the application usability.

Sorry for having start a new topic...

The latest version of the application has just been released and is available for download from
http://staff.polito.it/sergio.reano/

Here is a list of changes:
Added
- Flex tube connection support for many parts including pneumatic. Please note that pneumatics is still not
implemented as animation functionality. Also composed pneumatic parts do not have connections snap
resulting in difficult assembly. Wait for next release...
- Flex Add-And-Continue capabilities to create long and complex flex parts
Fixed
- Editing of flex parts is now more stable and comfortable. Anyway AVOID mixing selection with Flexs
- Even better initial/termination in flexible parts
- Some issues in steering system when multi steers driven by a single axle
- Added an internal defined part for ribbed hose avoiding errors when updating unofficial parts library

Any comment is welcome

Hi again,
due to the high number of requests, I have added the ability to change some User Interface parameters:
using the View. Preferences.User Interface options you can now:
- Switch between my Rotation model style and the most classical rotation model that allows only rotation around Y plane or around the horizon line
- Invert the zoom mouse wheel direction
- Invert the Y plane tilting

Download the new executable (and overwrite the existing one) from the following link:

Hi everybody
I'm proud to announce my latest release of the application with some great new functionality.
Here is the list of what's new:
Added
- The ability to switch between standard user interface with free rotation, and a more common user
  interface having separate X and Y rotation axis and a fixed (not selection dependant) rotation centre
  (see preference dialog box for switching)
- Fixed length flex parts (Flex Axle, Tubes and Ribbed Hoses)
Fixed
- Problem when adding a rack while having a Technic Gear 24 Tooth Clutch in your model
- Axle misalignement while connecting to angled connectors parts
- Hidden (wrong) connection detection among gears in specific positions
- Some bugs in hinges movements when parallel quad were sharing 2 rotation points (nodes)
- A bug was preventing correct import of .DAT files (MLCad file format) when having submodels
Changed
- Group management has been totally rewritten. Now support:
   o Hierarchyc groups
   o Layered groups
   o Hide/Show groups

Parece que el programa está mejorando mucho!
Estoy esperando que llegue mi nueva tarjeta gráfica para por fin poder probarlo.

Pues yo estoy teniendo muchos problemas de estabilidad con la ultima versión(0.5.6.2), me salen errores frecuentemente y se me bloquea cada 2 por 3, cosa que con versiones anteriores no me pasaba... lo he reinstalado y me sigue pasando lo mismo, volvere a la anterior a la 0.5.6.1 hasta que salga una nueva versión...
