SPAWN only works on interior cells though, or it did last time I had a look at it. I haven't seen an update for it in a long time though. There are some OBSE limitations that prevent it from working with exterior cells and last I read that couldn't be fixed.
Exterior cells won't ever be supported by SPAWN due to a technical limitation. As for an update, there has been one in the works ever since OBSE 18 Beta 1 got out. It's complete now and awaits the final release of v18. For a quick run down on the new features/ changes, take a look at the 2nd post in its discussion thread.
