Grid Array

Grid Array creates child objects and arranges them in a 3d grid-like manner. Number of objects depends on counts in X, Y, Z directions. Position of each child object depends on specified offset (Absolute or Relative).

Properties of Grid Array

Absolute Offset	Defines the X,Y,Z offset of each object in array. Absolute offset means that offset does not depend on item size.
Relative Offset	Defines relative X,Y,Z offset of each object in array. This offset is relative to size of item. 1.0 means that size of grid step is equal to item size.
Rotation	Defines rotaion of each item. These angles increment for each new object in array.
X Count	Number of subdivisions in the X direction.
Y Count	Number of subdivisions in the X direction.
Z Count	Gives an ability to select the object’s initial orientation in space, without using transformation matrix. .
Center	When checked, generated grid of objects will be centered at the array origin.
Respect Item TM	Use transformation of original first object. This transformations will be combined with item transformation and transformation generated by grid algorithm.
Enabled	When enabled, grid will be created. If not checked, this will be just a group with possible one item.
