Array or Copy Multiple?

Gidon Yuval

Here's a little tutorial. The methode is the same for linear or radial arrays.
Hope it helps.

linea

Thanks, Susan, Gidon, Edson.

I had tried this before but could'nt really get the hang of it. I have a project to draw a fountain that will involve lots of concentric circular arrays. I can't wait to get on with it now! I'd struggle to draw a box if it wasn't for this forum.

Edson

bravo, gidon. much more precise than the one i posted above.

the same principles explained by gidon in his tut on linear arrays apply to radial ones: just instead of a distance one would enter an angle.

or start the copy/rotate by hand, snap to an endpoint on the circle and then hit the x-something or /-something... Good to create radial arrays that perfectly align to your (customly segmented) circles.

WooHoo! I did it! Thank you so much Gidon!! and Edson! Very cool!

Gidon Yuval

Good for you, Tina!
I don't know if you did a linear array or a circular array so I thought I'd add a circular array tutorial just to be on the safe side.

Ooooooo! Clever

Thanks again Gidon. I did the circular array. I just wasn't typing the "formula" in the right order. Very cool, I'm exciting. This will make placing corbels on a turret MUCH easier!

Hm...

LOL! WOOPS!

BTW Tina, are there really turrets (over) there? Here I could show you a real 12th century corbel though...
