I assume you want to avoid the intersection of the boxes when the spline curves.
The easiest solution for that is to add a Rigid Body Tag to the Cloner and set Follow Position and Rotation to 10. That way the Simulation will make sure the boxes don't overlap while the movement is followed.

The problem is that I don't know how to do this on curves. I've noticed that with the new “Bead Distribution” cloning mode, the curves look good, but I'd like the boxes to be spaced apart along the curve so they don't overlap. I've tried using fields, but it doesn't work the way I want. Are there other methods? The boxes must be at a precise distance from each other, and I need to move them along multiple splines without using “Clone Count” and then moving the “End” to snap them together. “Spline Wrap” doesn’t work because it distorts the boxes.
The boxes must always be perpendicular to the floor.

thanks
