Surface array around curved object?

alan_jeremiah

Hi
I'm new to OnShape and not from a CAD background perse so apologies in advance if this is a silly question. 
I'm trying to create a rubber track (think tank track/snow blower track), and while i've created a surface and a single 'tread' (as a separate part) i'd like to copy the 'tread' around the entire surface. When i try and use the linear pattern tool I just get the tread repeated 'x' number of times normal to the face or extend the entire length of a straight face. I'd like it to flow around the entire surface inclduing the two curved ends. 

Any advice on how i might approach this please? 

Thanks
Alan

Featurescript Curve Pattern by @ilya_baran does exactly this. It's pretty nifty.

Yes -- though credit for the feature goes to @jon_sorrells not me.
