• Fixed distributed objects on splines not following actual spline transform rotation
• Fixed distribution settings not persisting on the file.

• Included buttons to add or remove selected objects to/from "distributed" list.
• Fixed dropDownBoxes not showing options when editing multiple distributions at once

Known Issues:

• There is no optmization to high number of instances per distribution (1000+ objects) at this stage.
• It is possible that some settings will be lost when opened on newer versions due to differences in data structure.
• If loading the previous settings fail, previous distributed objects will not be deleted on new distributions.
• Some settings are not yet implemented on certain modes. This condition is not yet reflected on the UI.
• Paint distribution mode relies on Object Paint feature in 3ds max and some settings will not work at this moment.
