Array
Repeat geometry at regular offsets.

How to use it
Set the repetition counts and spacing after selecting the source objects. Choose Build All Geometry to update Graphics.
Settings and initial values
| Setting | Initial value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Objects | all | Select earlier objects by label or a named selection; comma or semicolon separates labels and all selects available inputs. Confirm the highlight so an unrelated object is not transformed. |
| Keep input entities | true | When enabled, keep the source objects at the original array position. When disabled, replace them with the generated array, including an instance at the original position. Counts still include that first position, not only extra copies. |
| Count X | 4 | Choose the number of array positions along global x, including the original position. Enter an integer of at least 1; the current calculation rounds down and clamps smaller values to 1. The product of the three counts is the number of positions per input object. |
| Count Y | 1 | Choose the number of array positions along global y, including the original position. Enter an integer of at least 1; the current calculation rounds down and clamps smaller values to 1. The product of the three counts is the number of positions per input object. |
| Count Z | 1 | Choose the number of array positions along global z, including the original position. Enter an integer of at least 1; the current calculation rounds down and clamps smaller values to 1. The product of the three counts is the number of positions per input object. |
| Spacing X | 1[m] | Set the signed global x offset between consecutive array positions in metres or compatible units. Zero spacing can place copies on top of one another when the count exceeds 1. |
| Spacing Y | 0[m] | Set the signed global y offset between consecutive array positions in metres or compatible units. Zero spacing can place copies on top of one another when the count exceeds 1. |
| Spacing Z | 0[m] | Set the signed global z offset between consecutive array positions in metres or compatible units. Zero spacing can place copies on top of one another when the count exceeds 1. |
Result
Built solids and their selectable entities appear in Graphics.
Troubleshooting
Large repetition counts increase geometry and mesh costs. Start with a small array and inspect overlaps.
