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 repetitions in the X direction. |
| Y Count | Number of repetitions in the Y direction. |
| Z Count | Number of repetitions in the Z direction. |
| 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. |
In case if Y and Z counts are zero, arrays behaves likr linear array. This means that each component of offset is interpolated.
