Description

Clone object by equal distances on the shape length.

Snapshot To Shape

Additional Info

The reason behind the script is to make independent clones, ie they do not inherit the source object controllers. For this purpose underlie procedure inside is to make temporarily copy of source object and apply path controller to it and finally add default position_xyz controller to the new copies. Features:
  • Packed as function
  • Copy any type of objects
  • Order/snap to any type of shapes
  • Clone type is optional (default: copy)
  • Clone types: Copy, Reference, Instance
  • Undo supported
  • Help usage is available *
  • Help is activated automatically When the wrong argument passed Also Help is available as option in the 2nd (assistance) function * [ for more details see the video ]
Usage Details:
    Script is a pack of 2 functions (not UI). More flexible without UI (I think so). Thus have the freedom to decide himself how to integrate the function to your workflow pipeline. 1st is the Core function 2nd is a walk-through assistance function You can use the first function alone. But the second is binded to the fist.
Compatibility:
    The script tested on 3ds Max 2009
Update:
    Requested UI version (v.1.E)
  • Added: interface
  • Removed: help usage
Snapshot To Shape v.1.E

Hehe, nice joke, Paulov!
I'll have people in mind and probably will do soon.
