About this Object
This is a safety handrail used for climbing in and out of the bathtub.
Specs
This handrail has it's right end at the origin, protrudes out of the
Z=0 "wall" by 3.12 units in the postive Z direction, and to the left of
the origin (positive X) by 24 units to the center of the other base plate.
The base plates are 1.3 units in radius, so the total length is 26.6 units.
The bar is 1.24 units in diameter.
Problems and Future Work
Change the sphere sweeps to cylinders and toruses (for both speed and
looks). Smooth out the seams in the wall plates.
I personally would prefer extending in the -Z direction rather than plus,
and extending to the right of the origin, not the left.
