Options

Mode

You can select from Linear, Circle and Along Spline modes.

Linear

Per Step

This option defines whether the values for Position and Rotation apply from one object to the next or from the first object to the last. For example, suppose you have selected three spheres and set the Position Y value to 300. If Per Step is enabled, the first and second spheres will be 300 m apart; the second and third spheres will also be 300 m apart; and the first and third spheres will be 600 m apart.

If the option is disabled, the first and last third spheres will be 300 m apart with the second sphere midway at 150 m.

Position

Enable

Here you can define whether and how the selected objects will be spatially arranged. The arrangement will start from the position of the first selected object in the Object Manager. The other selected objects will be moved away from this starting position. The directions refer to the world coordinate system.

Per Step

This option defines whether the values for Position and Rotation apply from one object to the next or from the first object to the last. For example, suppose you have selected three spheres and set the Position Y value to 300. If Per Step is enabled, the first and second spheres will be 300 m apart; the second and third spheres will also be 300 m apart; and the first and third spheres will be 600 m apart.

If the option is disabled, the first and last third spheres will be 300 m apart with the second sphere midway at 150 m.

Move[XYZ m]

You can specify an additional movement for the selected objects on top of the movement due to the circular arrangement and first object.

Align Tangential

Enable this option to align the selected objects with their X-axes tangential to the virtual circle.

Along Spline

Per Step

This option defines whether the values for Position and Rotation apply from one object to the next or from the first object to the last. For example, suppose you have selected three spheres and set the Position Y value to 300. If Per Step is enabled, the first and second spheres will be 300 m apart; the second and third spheres will also be 300 m apart; and the first and third spheres will be 600 m apart.

If the option is disabled, the first and last third spheres will be 300 m apart with the second sphere midway at 150 m.

Spline

Drag & drop the spline along which the objects should be arranged from the Object Manager into this box. Provided Start Pos and End Pos are set to 0% and 100% respectively, the first selected object will be placed at the start of the spline and the remaining selected objects will be placed at regular intervals along the spline.

Rail Spline

You can use a rail spline to control the alignment of the objects. Drag & drop the rail spline from the Object Manager into this box.

Align

The alignment axis is defined by Align.

Bank[-∞..+∞°]

The Bank is the angle by which each object is rotated about the object axis defined by Align.
