This might sound more complicated than it is.  I am trying to build some simple toys, and using Styrofoam balls.  I want to show an octopus with 8 legs, using a 2 inch Styrofoam ball for the body, and the positions for the ( Pipe Cleaner) legs.  IF I .
I know if I aske the question - somebody will have the simple answer. Maybe even insert them at an angle?

Thanks

In the latest release (last Friday 6/28) we enhanced Mate connectors to be able to take any reference face (including non-planar) for their primary (Z axis) direction. They will also behave nicely if you do a curve pattern. See this example:

All of the Mate connectors remain normal, and the holes which use the Mate connectors naturally follow.
