As of today, you have no other solution than adding the flexible parts outside LeoCAD. Lsynth (http://kclague.net/LSynth/index.htm) is the tool of choice for that, see also this tutorial: http://www.holly-wood.it/lsynth/tutorial-en.html You will have to save your work in LDraw format to use that (do it in the end) See here http://philohome.com/pwheel/pwheel.htm what can be done with LeoCAD+Lsynth+LPub! > Any suggestions are welcome. > Further i have difficulty aligning parts correctly.

Did you have a look to these tutorials about grids and angle grids (http://trac.gerf.org/leocad/wiki/LeoCadDoc)?
