Better RopeConstraint rendering & properties

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to make dynamic cylinders, such as an IV line/tube, since there is no transparency property within the RopeConstraint instance. I think Roblox should take the time to improve the rendering capabilities of the RopeConstraint by adding properties such as texture and transparency. Maybe it would also be cool to add end orientation or something, so instead of the end of the rope just sticking out in the direction facing that point, I could set the flat end up against a part.

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because I would be able to actually create a moving rope-like tube, and everyone would have more diversity in what they are able to make, similar to this.
