Thin instances on curve

Questions
1

I was hoping you might be able to help me find a example for the following.

Path1
I want to have a path and thin instances of an arrow mesh that follows that path given distances from each other The arrows pointing in the same direction as the flow of the path.

Path2
I want to render a extruded path mesh that is pickable, so I don’t want to use a texture but instead something that will pick up a hit marker from a ray cast intersect.

Are there any examples of this kind of thing I can look at.
I am new to Babylonjs so still trying to find my feet, but pretty happy with what I have seen thus far.

Hello and welcome to the Babylon community! We’re glad to see you’re liking it! :smiley:
For your first example, I modified a previous example of mine to have the arrows, take a look: Camera explore (updated for Babylon 5) | Babylon.js Playground (babylonjs.com)

For your second one, I think this page will be very helpful: Building a Track for a Carriage to Follow | Babylon.js Documentation (babylonjs.com)
