Hi, as the title suggests, I'm wondering whether it's possible to somehow move/slide a part along a bent (i.e. deformed) flexible path. As example, let's consider the following:

Here, I've used an Outer Cable 80mm (yellow) and bent it a bit. It has three snapping points, to which I've snapped the red parts. Now, what if I'd like to snap another part (green) to some other position on the Cable? Ideally, I'd clone one of the red parts, colour it green, and then somehow move/slide it along the Cable. From the technical point of view, assuming you're using cubic Bézier curves for the flexible stuff, you could consider the tangent/normal vectors along the curve to do this (essentially using a so-called Frenet frame). I'd be happy to help.

Another (partial) solution would be to allow the user to add more snapping points to flexible objects (perhaps this is already possible, I'm pretty new to Mecabricks — great job on the implementation by the way, it's an absolute joy to use). This could be done either directly, or indirectly by subdividing the curve (representing the flexible part) into multiple sub-curves.

Naturally, I could rotate/translate the green part manually to approximately connect it to the Cable, though in case one has a lot of these parts, it would be rather time-consuming!
