Default Re: replicate along polyline

Greebles are, by definition, randomly placed. Setting the ranges to 100% is what (purposefully, for the trick) forces them to appear all in the same place. If you use a value less than 100, they'll appear randomly distributed.

Hmmm, not off the top of my head. Maybe combine multiples into a single greeble, pre-spaced? Either that, or perhaps surface>divide your polyline to make it into smaller surfaces.
