Hey guys, I was hoping you could help me out with something. Currently I'm learning Modo for my personal work while at my workplace we use C4D. I was wondering if there was a way to duplicate a premade geometry piece along a spline in Modo like my example from C4D. My intention is to use this method for straps and belts for characters.

First of all, let me show you my setup in my C4D file.

As you can see I have the original piece of geometry and the spline that I want to duplicate along. I also have a rail spline in there so that I can have it twist any direction it needs as it duplicates along the spline. In my setup I also use a connect object that merges the points of the duplicates to make one solid piece. Last and most importantly I use the spline wrap to duplicate along the spline and set the orientation of the piece of geometry so it lines up correctly.

The results:
