Ah! links.inc, of course! My problem came from the fact that (I modelled my
ship in Moray) I wanted also to provide some inverse kinematics to the yards
and sails, and be able to change their orientation according to the wind.
This brought me in conflict with the Bspline plugin I wanted to use for the
running rigging, as that could not be included into a csg. So I left it
momentarily. However, the ship remains a WIP, of course.
Yes please, I would be very interested in your links-based macro for the
rigging. I might find a solution for my project after all... :-)
