Creation method#

There are two options for creating Rectangular Array a node.#

  • The first way to create a Rectangular Array node using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need, or words associated with this node.
    • rectangularArray , ra
  • The second way is to select a Rectangular Array node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Array > Rectangular Array

Steps#

  • Create a Rectangular Array node.
  • Connect the geometry to be propagated to the first port.
  • Connect the number of propagated geometries in the direction of the OX to the second port.
  • Connect the number of propagated geometries in the direction of the OY to the third port.
  • Connect the distance between the propagated geometries in the OX direction to the fourth port.
  • Connect the distance between the propagated geometries in the OY direction to the fifth port.

After creating a node, connect the propagation geometry to the first port. Connect the number of propagated geometries in the direction of the OX to the second port, the number of propagated geometries in the direction of the OY to the second port. Connect the distance between the propagated geometries in the OX direction to the fourth port and the distance between the propagated geometries in the OY direction to the fifth port. On the output port, we will get a result of arrayed geometry.
