# Spline Bead Distribution

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page describes the **Spline Bead Distribution asset** for **Cinema 4D**, a node-based distribution used with the Cloner object in Advanced mode. It arranges clones along a spline like beads on a string, taking the size of the cloned objects into account and adding scaling and coloring controls beyond the Cloner's standard spline mode.

This distribution can be loaded directly via the **Browse** button of a [Cloner Object](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/OMOGRAPH_CLONER.html.md) if the *Clone Object* uses the *Advanced* mode. Copies can be arranged along an assigned spline, for example, like pearls on a string. Although this would also be possible in the *Object* mode of the *Cloner* object, the *Spline Bead Distribution* evaluates the size of the cloned objects and offers additional scaling and coloring options.\
The splines along which the clones are to be placed must be grouped in the *Object Manager* as a child of the distribution.

With Spline Bead Distribution, clones can be placed along a spline or between splines. Constant distances between the clones can be realized even with different clone sizes (left in the figure).
