Hello-

I am trying to cover a surface with discs (flattened spheres), such that
each disc lies flat on the surface.  I have the normals at each point
(thanks to Tim Nikias' Mesh-Maker-Macros), and need to know how to rotate
my spheres (discs) so that they will be perpendicular to the normal at each
point.

I have tried many approaches, but none are giving the result I want.  Can
anyone help?

Thanks,
Leo
