      Would Copy Array using Rotate Tool work for you?

          Same as the way you copy using the Move Tool

            If you start the copy array and type 360 in the VCB and followed by 22/ you'll get Todd's result

            Maybe he was using an older version of SU because mine goes to 0.0 too???

              Hi rclub24,

              i found a video tutorial, maybe also interesting for ohters who have the same problem.

              I followed the steps in the video, but if i rotate the array i can't get the 360 degree. the View in the measurement box switch to 0,0.

                  Hell, I do not get it out. I've attached the file.

                    You can no longer use radial array (scroll down in the page) on that model as it is not circular but elliptical. The shape does not have a single origin to rotate around plus the segments are of no equal length. See the tiny but apparent glitch by the end of the array.

                      Thanks r24club, Gaieus an Pilou,

                      it works now without a gaps between and i didn't change anything on the circle

                      that model as it is not circular but elliptical
                      . I moved one copy around to the end of the first component and clicked. The circle has 39 segments and so i inserted in the VCB /38. That was it.

                        Ok, my mistake, sorry. I must have done it slightly inaccurately and didn't check.

                          Hi Gaieus,

                          no problem we all make errors and the only way we learn. My error was that I had forgotten to click at the last position forever. Again thanks to you.

                            For a circle
                            Don't very well understand : why not use copy Rotation by 15° then *23?
                            (with a circle 24 segments by default)
