Shawn Olson has updated his parametric spacing tool that allows to distribute props and models along splines. New features include:

(Since last reported)

Updates the Enforce XRef Proxy setting to only turn on all proxies when enabled
Added new Prop Distribution Method “divide”. When on, places props at equal intervals along the path.
Updated PropLine Custom Attributes to display changes in the viewport immediately. Removed button to force display of prop CA changes.
Added support for Group props.
Added new parameter Skip Probability to PropLine and PropLine Custom Attributes. Defaults to 0. When above 0, there is a chance that a prop will be skipped at a location.
Added new transform setting Average Vector. When on, each prop will orient to a vector defined by the last and next prop locations. When off (default) the vector is between the current location and the next prop.
Added new transform setting for Snap to Grid. When on, each prop pivot is moved to the nearest grid intersection based on the grid spacing value.
Added Custom Attribute override for Average Vector.
Added Custom Attribute override for Upright.
Added Prop Manager floater.
Added button to generate new random seed value.
Updated Spacing & Padding minimum to be set in a global config file. The default minimum is still 1.0 but you can now change this default.
Added new Performance Rollout.
Added new performance setting Limit Props. When on, the props generated in the PropLine mesh is limited to this value.
Added Min Prop Size parameter. When on, limits the minimum spacing between props when using the Size distribution method.
Added performance setting XRef Object Proxies. When on, forces all XRef Object nodes that have proxies to display the proxy object in the viewport.
Added Global Settings button in Utilities Rollout which launches a controller for setting some global settings that get stored in an INI file.
