plot spheres/whatever along a path, and hull pairs.

for ( j=[0:5:180]){
   hull(){
       rotate([0,0,j]) translate([40,0,0])sphere(2);
      rotate([0,0,j+5]) translate([40,0,0])sphere(2);
    }
 }

hth.

Or find a library that has a sweep or skin function.

As far as I know, the most comprehensive library for this sort of thing
is BOSL2:  https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2/wiki/skin.scad
