Draft PointArray/en

Description
The PointArray tool places copies of a selected shape along various selected points.



How to use

 * 1) Create a shape object you wish to distribute. You will get the best results if your object is centred around the origin, that is, if its  is [0, 0, 0].
 * 2) Place points using Draft Point.
 * 3) Select the points and create a compound of them using Draft Upgrade.
 * 4) First select your shape, then the new point compound, and then press the  button.

Options

 * The array starts with shape copies which are not aligned to the path, nor translated to a new position by default. You can then change the alignment and/or translation vector in the properties.

Properties

 * : The shape object
