linear array tool the linear array tool is a tool that duplicates selected elements (vertex, edge, face) and arranges them in a linear direction how to use 1 select the element you want to copy 2 run the linear array tool 3 choose array type 4 choose length type 5 adjust the values as needed properties linear array tool properties array type this attribute defines the type of elements affected by the linear array tool array type to elements create a new element array within the current mesh 1 select a face array type to elements 2 run the linear array tool 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 array type to elements 2 run the linear array tool 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 direction the array follows the 3d direction vector originating from the pivot of the original element length this is the distance between elements batch count sets the number of elements or objects to be created (from 2 to 1000) is glue merges the duplicated meshes with the original mesh using boolean operation only available when array type is set to to elements the new elements are fused into the original mesh structure select properties that allow you to set how faces are selected edge docid 9sd9rmh7qs4ct0arcf77s example usage
