Tinsel

This script decorates a tube object with a one or several object(s) at each of its vertices. It can be used to place lights along a wire or make a christmas tree tinsel -hence the script name-. Moreover, the objects used for decoration can be single AoI objects or groups of objects, like a light bulb and its stand regularly placed along the tube.

There can be several objects or groups of objects used for decorating the tube. In that case, a random object/group is picked up to decorate each vertex.

See comments in script for options.

Example:

Using the tube and five decorators as shown below:

The Tinsel script yields the following result, provided enough vertices along the tube.
