I have a single chain link modeled.

I also have a curve path I'd like to copy it along.


The problem is how do you get the spine array tool to rotate each item along the path?


You know what I mean? So that the links "fit" together as you would expect.

(Link object 1 rotated 0, Link object 2 rotated 90 degrees relative to that, link object 3 rotated 90 degrees to #2, etc)

:confused:

Thanks.

Thank you for the demostration.

I used the chain link thing for something I posted over in the finished images section earlier today. It's called "Tormented" ;)
