Hello,
this is my first post, apology if it`s to boring.
I want to make a simple ring, where i can control the middle hole the thickness etc.
My idea is, take a line make a circle and copy the line at the points of the circle. After this i skin it to get a primitive which i can extrude. I set the point normals of the circle that they point outwards, but the line is not copied with these orinetation.
How can i get the line copied along the circle with the right orientation?

Found it on myself
- Make a poly circle
- wrangle : vector a = set(0,0,0);
@N = normalize( a + @P);
- Make a line; and the trick is to align it along the z-axis ( thanks Indie-Pixel )
- copy to points the line to the circle points
- skin it
- done
