The ArrayCrv command copies objects spaced along a curve.

Steps

Select objects to array.
Select a path curve near the end where you want the array to start.
Or
Use the Basepoint option.
Specify the number of elements to array or the spacing distance along the curve.
Type a value of 1 or more for the number of elements.

Command-line options
Basepoint	When the object to be arrayed is not on the curve and should be moved to the curve prior to the array, the Basepoint option establishes a reference location that will be move to the curve.
Method	Specifies whether the distance between objects or number of objects is used. Distance between items Specify the distance between items. The number of items is determined by the length of the curve. Number of items Type the number of items to array along the curve.
Orientation	Determines the way objects are rotated as they are arrayed along a curve. Freeform Objects are rotated in three dimensions as they are arrayed along the path curve. No rotation The objects do not rotate as they are arrayed, but remain in their original orientation. Roadlike Objects follow the curve but maintain a consistent up direction relative to the construction plane.

Command-line options

Basepoint

When the object to be arrayed is not on the curve and should be moved to the curve prior to the array, the Basepoint option establishes a reference location that will be move to the curve.

Method

Specifies whether the distance between objects or number of objects is used.

Distance between items

Specify the distance between items. The number of items is determined by the length of the curve.

Number of items

Type the number of items to array along the curve.

Orientation

Determines the way objects are rotated as they are arrayed along a curve.

Freeform

Objects are rotated in three dimensions as they are arrayed along the path curve.

No rotation

The objects do not rotate as they are arrayed, but remain in their original orientation.

Roadlike

Objects follow the curve but maintain a consistent up direction relative to the construction plane.

Along Curve on Surface

History enabled. Click for more information. History enabled

The ArrayCrvOnSrf command copies objects spaced and rotated along a curve on a surface.

Details

The surface normal determines the orientation of the arrayed objects.

Steps

Select objects.
Pick a base point.
This is usually located on the object to array.
Select a path curve near the end where you want the array to start.
Select the surface.
Pick along the curve to position objects or type a distance from the last location.

Command-line options
Divide	Type the number of objects.
Multiple	Specify the distance between objects.

Command-line options

Divide

Type the number of objects.

Multiple

Specify the distance between objects.
