Clone on Curve (curve with multiple segments ) doesn’t exist in Blender

devtalk.blender.org/t/clone-on-curve-curve-with-multiple-segments-doesnt-exist-in-blender/10093

Hi guys, i need to create multiple objects in larges scenes on paths imported from Autocad (Urban design and architecture)

I am working on urban designs of 4 sections each with sub-sections, for example, section 1 has 5 sub-sections and each sub-section is approximately 2km. That is why doing that by hand to separate segments and make the array and re-join them is a process of hours. In 3D Max it is a few seconds.

I know that Blender cannot do it that way, but what I really want is a way to get developers to keep this in mind, and that there is a possibility that they will include it in the future as an addon to activate or similar.

I really would like to switch to blender, but in architecture there are some tools missing (two that I have in mind and are very important).

Thanks.

My proposal to update "Fit To Curve" on Array Modifier may be of interest here.

Hi @axialrender, you can do this with Animation Nodes (add-on). Here I'm instancing the cube object on each point of the spline. Image

* @marcosjframos * thank you very much, I will try this but with the distance between the objects instead of their points (and I don't know if possible)
