I think you want the sphere-sweep. This will only work for circular
cross-sections, but that may be all you need. Otherwise, there are other
approaches if the cross-section is more complex. Chris Colefax has a macro to
make any object follow a path:

You can also hand-code a mesh to follow an path with any cross-section, but that
is significantly more complex.
