adding rivets on a complex surface

[ts.vm]

I'd like to add rivet heads to a complex surface. I can draw a path on the surface, but can't figure out how to add a single rivet head so that I can pattern it along the path. Suggestions?

Here is my Fusion360 file:

This screencast may help:

I'm assuming it will work the same way on a spline path.

p.s. This is also in Direct Modeling mode.  Behaviour may be different in Timeline mode.

Hi @ts.vm,

Thank you for asking about it.

Yes, @etfrench showed the right way to do that. 
I have just tested a couple things and it works as you can see here.

Please, feel free to use the file which I have created for you http://a360.co/2gWpCxp

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Thanks etfrench, and Mike.

The one step I was missing was to create a plane along a path. That was an aha moment.
