OK... thank you, I had to experiment a lot but am getting good results with one or two additional control points, and with Decimation=0 and Smoothing=3. I set the shape in the Editor using the Obi path editor tool.
The only problem now is that the rod (vacuum hose) shears just past the start point as soon as I press Play. This happens with 3 or 4 control points and I've varied most of the other parameters but can't see the cause here. We need the orientation to be constrained at the drum end (i.e., it has to come out straight, or it looks nasty).
Can you suggest a fix for this? Thanks -- ian
