      huyvuvn,

      Is this what you are asking about creating arrays?

      See this for creating Linear Arrays using the Move tool:

      And this for creating Radial Arrays using the Rotate Tool:

      Hi

          Find my 'Matrix' tool this does 1d, 2d and 3d arrays with rotation and scaling, and randomness if required.

          My 'Grow' is more for organic forms...

          There's also RickW's CopyAlongPath tool...

            For center point in Group, use the BoundingBox class. Get the bounds of the group and then it's center.

                To make a circular (helical) stair you need to use Grow.rb. Here's a Tutorial on making a spiral/helical staircase...
