With the KP_CurveTools plugin you can extrude objects (cubes) along multiple curves at once (figure A). The tool features several parameters to customize the extrusion (figure B) and has the option to create a new set of controls (figure C) for later animation of the extruded objects (subdivs, position along curve, thickness, etc.).

The tool works like “plot curve” but allows you to specify a bunch size to divide the work load.
