I am making a model, and I need to make a chainlink fence. So, using one model of the fence, how can i make more of them that stick together in one direction? I uploaded an example.
Thanks.
select the fence and hit “control-d” to duplicate. Then you can drag the duplicate wherever you want. BTW I have no idea how the title of your thread title relates to this question in any way.
Thank you. Sorry, it supposed to be “Rectangular Array”. I tried to do the duplicate thing, but I would like to know if there is a way that I can just put the number of copys and select the direction of the copies.
No such feature built-in.
The problem with making features like it, there’s always some other little tweak you will want to make. An array of objects with no variation looks boring; you will want to add minor color adjustments or make it follow a path or pick from a list of items or make the third one missing or make sure it hugs the terrain or avoid making them overlap other objects already nearby or rotate them to face different angles or…
There’s a few built-in tricks that might help.
Particularly, look at 0:16 - 0:45 for how to place multiple objects at an interval.
Thats what I needed. Thank you very much.
