Modify > Snap Align Objects > Position Along Curve

Repositions a selection of objects evenly along a curve.

• Draw a curve in the scene to indicate the path along which you want the objects to be positioned (Alternately you can duplicate or use an existing curve in the scene).
• Select the objects you want to have evenly positioned as well as the path curve and then select Modify > Snap Align Objects > Position Along Curve.
  NoteIf the objects you are positioning do not appear evenly spaced along the curve, you can try rebuilding the NURBS curve using Edit Curves > Rebuild Curve (Surfaces Menu set) so that the curve has a Uniform parameterization and a parameter range between 0 and 1.

  Since Position Along Curve uses the curve’s parameterization to determine the spacing of objects along it, rebuilding the curve in this manner will improve the results.

  Objects are positioned based on the location of their pivot point. If you have repositioned the pivot point for an object it may appear along the curve in an unexpected position relative to the curve.
