Radial Array Tool

radial array tool the radial array tool duplicates the selected elements (edge, face) and arranges them in a circular pattern based on a user defined rotation axis how to use 1 select the elements to duplicate 2 run the radial array tool 3 choose the array type 4 select the length type 5 choose the rotate axis 6 adjust the position of the rotation axis 7 press the array button to generate the mesh properties radial array tool properties array type specifies how the duplicated meshes will be generated array type to elements create new elements within the same mesh 1 select a face array type to elements 2 run the radial array tool 3 new elements will be arranged in a circular pattern within the same mesh array type to object create separate objects from the current mesh 1 select a face array type to object 2 run the radial array tool 3 new objects are created and placed in a circular arrangement, separated from the original mesh angle type interval the angle value is applied as the rotation interval between each duplicated element total the specified angle is treated as the total rotation angle and evenly divided by the batch count rotate axis sets the axis used as the basis for rotation angle specifies the angle between each duplicated element reverse rotation applies the angle in the opposite direction when enabled, the rotation direction is inverted from the default rotation constraints prevents duplicated meshes from rotating themselves each duplicated mesh is positioned along the circular pattern but maintains the original rotation batch count defines the total number of elements or objects to be created (from 2 to 1000) offset sets the distance between the original element and the rotation axis 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 controls the face selection method docid 23eveta0llmqpp4vjj7o8 examples of use
