> [Revit%20screenshot] Hello, I am creating a script with placing of families. Goal of the script is to place a families and rotate them to have “smooth” transition between families. For now everything is going smooth but I have a problem with the rotation of a family… Problem appears on switching curves (e.g. from line to arc), a family is rotated only on a next point and do not calculated also previous point. Any ideas, hints how to prepare a script so that rotation will take…

Because it shouldn’t be too complicated to extend that to even distribution of oriented objects.  
I’m not exactly clear on what you’re looking for, though. Something like this:
