Multiple copy
-
Wow even watching this videotutorial (http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=80942)i keep gettin stuck... i'm such a noob

btw in the video she creates a cylinder as a component, then she copies and rotates it at the same time. ok i can do it, but then she magically manage to create multiple copies (equally spaced) of that component between the first one and the last one... what the.. how can she do that?
Thanksp.s. is there a way i can edit my profile?

Hi Maverick,
This is called "radial array". You can achive it in two ways;
- Copy/Rotate the object to a distance you want to place the second (next) object then type 5x (for instance) to multiply the copy along the curve by 5
- Do the same but now place the farthermost object while Copy/Rotating and type 5/ instead to make an array of them at equal distances (this is what you saw in that video).
Note that this also works with the Move tool.
