Array tips
- If you've used the array command before, you know it's a really powerful way to make a series of copies of elements and more importantly keep those copies linked together in a parametric way. So, I'll be able to go back and actually modify the quantity of elements in my array at any time. And the way that that is achieved is when you move your mouse over an arrayed element, you'll notice that it's actually an model group. And so that's how the array command actually achieves the parametric behavior because what it does is it actually groups all the elements within the array and associates those with the parameter. So, for example, here you can see that I have this long row of chairs and that's model Array Group 2 and then here's my quantity of ten. And I could go into that quantity and I could change it to 11 for example and it will re-space everything and just put them all a little bit closer together but introduce an 11th row. Now, I could possibly do a 12th row, or even, maybe, a…
