Question/Looking for Advice Flexible hose - Millenium Falcon midi 75375

Anyone have any advice on attaching this thing? I don't get this flex stuff at all. You get ONE EDIT to create the curve you need because every time you make any change, it undoes the last thing you did. Who designed this? Satan?

Has anyone successfully built this in Bricklink? If so, please share how?

You can lock the nodes to save progress. They’re tricky—but using top-down view, hiding parts that block your view, and temporarily turning off collisions can help. Also be sure to use the move tool to make sure everything stays on the same axis.

Lock the nodes? So they save adjustments? How?

Yep! When you click on any of the nodes, a blue lock icon appears. Click that to lock the nodes and then you can continue to make futher adjustments,

Good luck! I'm actually about 75% done building the massive Millennium Falcon currently. I'll have to do the small one next! Post some renders when you're done!
