Hi, I want to achieve such effect that:
1. Plans and Sphere are intersect/union each other. Some curves are generated on Sphere from those intersect seams.
2. Copy objects onto these curves.
3. The copied objects facing directions are same as the sphere's faces.

I can achieve 1 and 2, but fail at 3. (The pic red circle is the effect I want)
Attachment is the file.
Could you give me some hints?

Hi,

one way can be transfering the face normal attribute to the curve to construct a new orientation.

Thank you so much. This is exactly the effect I expect.
