Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

ok knowing the aplication of it would help also.. like does it come out and feel around, or does it conect to difrent things.

You might start out buy looking at spline IK's using bones..

yeah a spline IK system would work good for you. in the doc's or I can show ya. you would want to parint the base of it on the vac, and you can cluster the end CV's that you will use to move the spline around, and then constrain the nosel of the hose to the cluster.

if your intrested I'll do a little example.
