Create multiple bodies at different points

Hi,

I want to create a 3d pattern of 1000 spheres.

I created a .csv file with the x, y, z coordinates. If I import this file I get a 3d spline with 1000 points on it. The pattern is a spherical Fibonacci spiral, so the pattern tool in Fusion does not work for my design.

Is there a way to create the sphere in one step at all of the coordinates?

Thanks a lot!

Charlotte

 

(The image with the golden spheres is what I want to achieve, the screenshot from Fusion is what I have so far and where I am stuck. The only solution I can think of is to copy paste a sphere to every single point... If there is another way to create a Fibonacci sphere that would also be really helpful!)

There is no tool accessible through the usual menus that can do this.

However, Fusion 360 does have a Python API!

My guess is that the CSV import was done with an addon using that exact API. Creating a sphere on one of these imported points editing that Python addon might be a relatively easy task. It is much more memory efficient to create a sphere body inside a component and then instance that component 999 times rather than  creating 1000 separate bodies.
