Is is also possible to attach to edges and corners of the parent
object. The anchors for edges spin the child so its BACK direction is
aligned with the edge. If the edge belongs to a top or bottom
horizontal face, then the BACK directions will point clockwise around
the face, as seen from outside the shape. (This is the same direction
required for construction of valid faces in OpenSCAD.) Otherwise, the
BACK direction will point upwards.
Examine the red flags below, where only edge anchors appear on a
prismoid. The top face shows the red flags pointing clockwise.
The sloped side edges point along the edges, generally upward, and
the bottom ones appear to point counter-clockwise, but if we viewed
the shape from the bottom they would also appear clockwise.
