Properties

Radial Array Tool Properties

Array Type

Specifies the element types affected by the Radial Array Tool.


Array Type: To Elements

Create a new element array within the current mesh

  1. Select a face.
  2. Run the Radial Array Tool. Array Type: To Elements
  3. A new element array will be created within the connected mesh from the selected element.

Array Type: To Object

Create independent objects from the current mesh

  1. Select a face.
  2. Run the Radial Array Tool. Array Type: To Elements
  3. A new independent object array will be created from the current mesh.

Length Type

This determines the position of the last object in the array. There are two types: Total and Interval.

  • Total: The last object is positioned at the distance specified by the Total value.
  • Interval: The last object is positioned based on the angle and batch count.

Rotate Axis

This defines the axis around which the original model rotates. You can choose between the X, Y, or Z axis.

Offset

This is the distance between the original model and the axis of rotation.

Angle

This is the reference value for rotation when creating an array of duplicates.

Flip

When checked, duplicates are rotated clockwise. When unchecked, they are rotated counterclockwise.

Rotation Constraints

When checked, the duplicated elements maintain the same orientation as the original element. When unchecked, the duplicated elements will face the center of rotation.

Batch Count

Sets the number of elements or objects to be created (from 2 to 1000).

Select

Properties that allow you to set how faces are selected.
