_bm3       Matrix Replicate command (Symmetry & Tools Menu)

Top 

 

This command replicates the current selection according to an XYZ matrix entered via the adjacent dialog box.  Thus a regular array of objects can be created - similar to the columns in the ‘Greek Temple’ project file.   The X, Y and Z increment values define the spacing of the replicated objects, and the number of steps indicate the number of replications in the X, Y and Z directions.   Lone vertices will also be replicated if they included in the selection.  Note the minimum number of steps in X, Y and Z is 1, not zero.

_bm195

 

Depending on the number of faces in the current selection, and the number of replications, it is not hard to exceed the limits of the face or vertex arrays with this command.   An appropriate message is displayed if this occurs, and the command is not executed.

This command is available from both the Symmetry and Tools Menus.
