A script that aligns objects along a path or spline. much more editable than the spacing tool. see how it works here or download complete package (with mini tut).

Additional Info: 

The script works fine here on max 9 (32 bit) and on max 2009 (64bit). Did not test on other versions.

The script is free so you may change and reuse it.

Version Requirement:

Thanks for this great

Thanks for this great script.
I was thinking, is there a way to move the objects after they are placed on the splice? I think i cant move them because of the path constraint. thks

edit: snapshot tool solves this. Ty

hey titane357, thanks for

hey titane357,

thanks for your feedback and your ideas:

- what do you mean with interactive? if you meant to animate the values i am very sorry but i think it won't work or more honestly i think am not good enough in achieving this.

- about keeping the settings i have thought about myself many times. yes, this would be a very nice feature. i should give it a try if i find the time.
side note: this has been the reason why i createt the "export all into new layer" function to a) keep the scene more cleaned up and b) to be able to fastly select all instances and delete them. the number behind the last instance name gives me the instance count so i can easily start the script and achieve same result in just a few clicks. (before the layer feature i tried to group the instances but this creates little changes in the positions and i could not find a solution on this.)

i have to mention i am a beginner in maxscript and my skills are far far behind from others here. but, i will try to improve this script with the "keep settings feature" and maybe come back with a new version.

if you or someone else here wants to change, rewrite, or expand the script just feel free to do so.

sorry for broken english. best wishes.

yes we like it very

yes we like it very much,.... BUT :
- can you make it interactive ?
- can you keep setting somewhere, so, when select spline, we can change settings ??
:-))
