Lofting between shapes along a curve

Hi,

 

I am trying to place a nurbs circle along a curve.  The curve has to be perfectly in the centre of the circle.  The circle also has to be perpendicular to the path.

 

The context to this is that I am trying to loft beween a series of shapes.  But these shapes (ie the nurbs circle in the above paragraph) has to lie perfectly on the (reference) curve.

 

Thanks,

I'm not sure I follow what your are trying to do?  As far as lofting your circles together?  Are you trying to make a perfect tunnel around the nurbs spheres?  post a quick sketch or drawing of what you are trying to to with that.  

 

You could easily extract a curve from the nurbs Spheres and then loft using them.  You can select your Nurbs Sphere and snap its center point to the curve you want it to follow.  All seems pretty easy to do, yet I don't have a clear image of your final result.

 

I look forward to your reply!
