  • Align & distribute along a path (bezier spline) ?

    Hi nice people,

    Is there is a way (plugin or expression) to align & distribute with equal spacing in 3d space x# of layers along a bezier spline ? (think about wood cross-bars of a straight & curved railway)
    Thanks in advance for your attention.

    This might work (Dan again):

    Scroll down to “Follow the Null”.

    There are 3D layer distributed on a curved path, although the path is only curved on one plane, anyway, follow the setup, then just choose the place you want to stop and you have your distribution, methinks? Very controllable with slider too!
