So first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna create another For-Each Subnetwork. I'm gonna dive into that, and actually for what we're gonna do here is we're gonna do this based on each primitive end point, and so basically that will do it per wire. And I'm gonna call it wire_prep. Let's go in there. Now we can see we can just, do one wire at a time, and clean it up. What we wanna do is we wanna smooth these out a little bit, and we wanna make the points sort of consistent along the line.
