Generate Instance On Curve 1.3Author: Julien Carmagnac
Updated June 2013 (info) — Based on a part of the »Create Copies along Curve« Compound of Felix Geremus, I try with this tool to cover many possible situation as possible with copies on curves. It work with multiple curves, even merged, and generate as many point cloud as necessary. We can easily edit all of then with the Multi Edit PPG.

The 1.2 update adds these new features and functions: Exposed »accuracy« parameter Adjust scale with real space in X,Y Or Z Delete Last Instance on open Curve Delete Neighbors with distance Random scale on X,Y,Z independently Offset scale on X,Y,Z independently Create from preset Save preset Randomize Update instances

Demonstration videos available here (V1.0) and here (V1.1) and here (V1.2).

Note that the download in the first post of the si-community thread isn't the most current version. Look further down in the thread to find it.

Oops, fixed it (if just for posterity's sake, nothing really to be gained there).

And thanks for the scene, busy atm but will have a look asap.

Hi NNois,

your 'druitre' scene works. But when I do the same setup it doesn't... Only when I copy the compound from your pointcloud I can get it to work. What could I be doing wrong?

(So, I tried with new curve and with yours, with new pointcloud and with yours, and only when I use the compound copied from your pointcloud it will work, either with my own curve or yours. I also exported the compound to my workgroup over the 1.7 I already had, but it still doesn't work. All nodes inside are okay, nothing red. I checked and my data provider script is the 1.7 version)
