CreateSpine

Description

Creates a spine between two objects that represent the chest (top) and the hip (bottom). When you run the command, it prompts the user to pick the chest and hip objects. After the picking session, a dialog box appears asking about the number of vertebrae for the spine and whether they should be represented by polygon mesh or implicit cubes.

Alternatively, you can supply this information to the command to create the spine automatically.
