along_with

Puts children along the given path. If there's only one child, it will put the child for each point.

Parameters

• points : The points along the path.
• angles : If it's given, rotate before translate each child.

Examples

include <circle_path.scad>;

$fn = 24;

points = circle_path(radius = 50);

along_with(points) 
    sphere(5, center = true);
