  Moved to Technical Help as it is a product, rather than a Daz Studio application, question.

  If it's a solid tube, have you considered making it with a cylinder and using a dFormer to bend the tube? Attached is an older render where I used this technique for the water coming from a fountain.

  I made a quick demo (a little too quick).

  But modelled a simple square wire, which I then rigged, subdivided and simulated.

  But I made too few bones to place it initialli, so it came out wierd.

  Subdividing a square wire turn round. Subdiv of 2 and you can't see it was square. And a square can hold fairly decent in a simulation.

  If you're speaking about Sticky Chain the plugin, the commercial thread is here:

  https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/616991/stickychain-pose-tool-released/p1

  I don't remember doing it, but my guess is I would use two sticky chains if I were to tried it: one to take care of the part of the chain located before the part interacting with something else, and one to take care of the part of the chain after the part interacting with something else.

  I would still have to pose the part touching the ground myself though.

  Maybe use this product instead?
