Advanced Member manticor Posted July 17, 2014 Advanced Member Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 For some reason I can find a straight forward array tool....I thought the instancer would be it but it isn't . Say for instance I want to make 10 duplicates of an object from point A to point B ...how would I do that? Or I want to say make a stack of objects in a cube pattern that is 10 x 10 x 10 ..making a total of 100 objects . I can see the radial array function in the tool list but what about doing it for straight 1,2 or 3 dimensional arrays? Any experts here know how to do this? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Member J-A-K Posted July 17, 2014 New Member Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I am no expert and it's not the most straight forward method, but give the Warp tool a go. For a linier array you would set the twist angle to 0 and the overlap can be set to negative values, which actually pushes the instances further apart. Another method, in surface mode, would be the Split & Joint tool, which could be used as an array tool for cubes, cylinders & lathe objects. Think you might have to put it in another layer, so it doesn't split anything, as it's intended to do. Hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
