Scaled array

@Utiler
Z Is not obvious, with it your model goes in the 3D space up & down!
there is a little help text inside the code plug! Open it@unknownuser said:
When I rotate a vertical ['Z' plane] object around what i think is the RED direction it actually rotates it around the GREEN...['Y']
It's around the BLUE AXIS
Order gives you the natural order of transformations
About the first problem seems you can't oblige to have 80% for have perfect fit if you don't know the other X,Y,Z measures!
it's depending of the measure of the first start volume!
See my example above! I have 50% for this one (of course with my start measures volume)My regulates and don't forget the Growth point position (see image above)
nb copy 3
X spacing = 0
Y spacing = 0
Z spacing = 100 cm
Scaling = YesXspacing scaling = 1
Yspacing scaling = 1
Zspacing scaling = 0.5Xcopy scaling = 0.5
Ycopy scaling = 0.5
Zcopy scaling = 0.5(all exponential+ by default)
Move Scale Rotate order (or Move Rotate Scale as the is no rotation in this one)

Thanks Pilou,
I believe Z is always vertical [blue axis in SU]. If the ground plane is the ground then it makes sence to me that Z [blue axis is vertical....See the simple Palm tree attached.
Say I want to rotate copy and move the palm fron as noted on the attached image. Still getting weird outcomes when I try to do so...thanks in advance.
-
Something like this?
-
No, Pilou. As a Palm fron grows [pardon the pun], it faces the sky with it's flat side facing up. Sometimes, slightly rotated but for the purpose of the exersice, lets keep it simple....
This is what i mean.
Then copy and rotate various frons to thicken up the folage...
Then do a little 'Fredo' bending....
So thats what i want to do with grow, however I just did this example manually...
Skippy attached FYI...
Thanks for your help with this idea, Pilou, much appreciated!!

Ok I see
Maybe monday a result -
Thanks Pilou, look forward to your reply..
-
Pilou, My Grow dialouge Box looks a little different.... older or newer?
-
Still not working....
Not getting the same result as you even though I am imputting the same data...Ready to un-install.
-
You have an older version!
The last version were in this same thread always by TIG -
Maybe this
But in fact all gives cool results just try different little variations
Palm's pull up is given by negative value
Here with these regulates (click image)

Damn!
I hate it when i feel amateurish...
Thanks Pilou, I think I am on the right track now. I will post some updates later.Thank you kindly for your persistence.

Ok, I have loaded the new 2.1 version...
Did a little axis directions text [see attached.] It eems that the X axis directions are back to front. I would have thought that the postive directions would have been forward and the negative direction would be backwards....
Also, rotations around the Z axis are anti-clockwise. I thought it makes sense to have postive rotations clockwise and negative rotations anticlockwise.... [see also attached]TIG, is there any reason for this?
Eitherway, I think i have it worked out.

HI,TIG,i wish the picture just like show

You need to experiment with the 'Growth Point' origin in different places ?

hm... I wonder if there is a copy+rotate plugin out here already...

It'd be best if it was in a thread by itself and not buried inside another thread.

That would be good.
Didier and Fredo had/has some old versions laying around as well. I noticed the last week several users seemed to have been downloading them instead of the new versions - despite noticed about newer versions. So I wanted to do a sweep of the plugin section and remove old versions and lock old obsolete threads. With the permission of the authors - in case they deliberately left them out there for legacy reasons. -
Grow.rb is a pretty old thing - probably predates the Forum !
It's available from Didier's Depot and if you search by author [TIG] and 'Grow' there are several threads about it where I uploaded a version for convenience, there are also examples in some threads...

Yes,I can do it with 'clf_component_stringer.rb'just like picture
