Wrapping surfaces - specify points to 'wrap against' via XML

Hello everyone,

I am trying to modify some muscles' paths by inserting wrapping surfaces. Some of the muscles I am trying to modify include via points and I would like to set the wrapping surface to wrap around, for example point 1 and point 2. Inspection of the documentation reveals that it is possible to do so via the GUI (https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8 ... sclePoints) by changing the Start Pt and End Pt, however when I do this within the GUI the effects don't seem to take effect.

Is it possible to set the Start Pt and End Pt via the xml methods through Notepad? I haven't managed to find any documentation to support this yet.

Kind regards,

Nicos Haralabidis

With further experimentation it appears the tag <range> within <pathwrap> can be used to specify the attachment points for which the surface can wrap around.

Specifying -1 -1 within the range sets the points to first and last, for future reference.

Is it possible to select attachments to wrap around which are not fixed via points? Can they be conditional via points?

Thanks!
