Looking for some type of wrapping technique.

What I have is a leg that I want to wrap a chord around ad have it be flush to the leg. Without doing it by hand, is there a tool or command that matches a face with a curve or something?

“curve deform” might be a good try.

No, I tried it and it wasn’t as effective as just doing it by hand. Damn non-efficient techniques!

Maybe with new softbodies? I don’t know if you could make the cord keep its round, cylindrical shape as it wrapped. It would be a good test of softbodies, though there might be to many vertices. You’d have to experiment.

This might apply here. Maybe?
