3d-Hose management Question

[thermoD]

I am trying to create a 3D layout of a product that has hose/tubing, the layout of the hose should look like " ? ".
I don't have a routing package, will that be easy? any idea?
can anybody give me a hint?

This is will be a part of designing a package (Like thermoformed tray)to accommodate the part.

thanks,

The routing package is just a fancy way to do a 3D sweep of a tube profile...with built-in bugs. If you can do a sweep and can eff things up on your own, then you don't really need routing.
