hiya david: okay! so someone kindly edited the question to put the proper links in, so the question's actually understandable.

Unfortunately I've not been able to finish this. I've tried luke, but my laptop's battery just went totally bad, my desktop's HD filled up all the way and my family has been in need of my help. I just don't have the time to do this either, and with the hurricane coming (to Florida), I'm not certain what's going to become of me or this house (yes, I'm staying with my family). We will probably loose power and water at the least.
In case you've not heard it's a CAT 5! AND there is another one behind it!
I've done several of the calculations by hand and I understand how to do it, just not with a computer nor with your program, plus I don't have the python bindings for openscand so you program still will not work (yes I set python's path correctly). I've created a simple gif that illustrates the steps that the computer must take. This should help you to not have to take shots in the dark when trying to figure this out. 1. Create a polygon. 2. Separate the polygon into squares or right triangles. 3. Enlarge based on sizes of pulleys. 4. Measure angles of side and use this to calculate the angles of your pulleys.
