# rails2sections
Create sections along rails. Combined with the `sweep` module, you can describe a more complex model.
Rails should be indexed count-clockwisely.
**Since:** 3.2
## Parameters
- `rails` : A list of rails used to describe the surface of the model.
## Examples
use <rails2sections.scad>
use <polyline_join.scad>
use <sweep.scad>
rails = [
[[5, 0, 5], [15, 10, 10], [25, 20, 5]],
[[-5, 0, 5], [-15, 10, 10], [-25, 20, 5]],
[[-5, 0, -5], [-15, 10, -10], [-25, 20, -5]],
[[5, 0, -5], [15, 10, -10], [25, 20, -5]]
];
sections = rails2sections(rails);
sweep(sections);
#for(path = rails) {
polyline_join(path)
sphere(.25);
}
