Inputs

Name	Type	Description
`Curve`	curve_interface	Curve for planes to follow
`Body`	Implicit Body	Implicit that the plane will be normal to
`Line Spacing`	Scalar	How close the intervals are for determining the tangent vector along the curve. The smaller the line spacing, the clower the vector will be to following the curve.
`Dist between Planes`	Scalar	Spacing between consecutive output planes along the curve.

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
`Destination Plane`	list<plane>	Output.
