I suspect the answer to this may be "No", but just in case...

Is there any way of determining the axial vector of a sphere_sweep at any
arbitrary point on that sweep.
The determination of this is obviously trivial using a linear_spline, but is
there a solution for b_spline and cubic_spline.
(Reason for question: I'm trying to determine the placing of joints and
flanges on some pieces of complicated pipe-work and atm I'm limited to trial
and error.
