Procedural Adaptors

[dr.phees]

There should be one part that adapts to what it is being connected to: Attach it to one part and have it adjust to its form factor, then attach the other part and have it adjust as well. One slider would allow us to set a length (could be stepwise).

This would cut down on the part catalogue's count and would be much easier to use. If you want to override the automatic selection, you could always manually set the form factor.

 

As an alternative, this part could be made with one fixed form factor, the other side would auto-select. This would still cut down on the part count.
