Grid Duplicate

The Grid Duplicate feature allows users to create multiple copies of an object arranged in a grid pattern. This functionality is ideal for efficiently populating your scenes with objects in a structured layout, such as creating tiled surfaces or organized arrays.

How to Use Grid Duplicate

To duplicate an object in a grid formation, follow these steps:

  1. Select the object(s) you wish to duplicate.

  2. Navigate to Object > Duplicate > Grid Duplicate in the menu.

  3. A dialog will appear with the following input fields: Grid Duplicate Dialog 🔺 Figure 1: Grid Duplicate Dialog Box

    • Number of Rows: Input the total number of rows you want to create.
    • Number of Columns: Input the total number of columns you want to create.
    • Row Spacing: Enter the value that determines the distance between each row.
    • Column Spacing: Enter the value that determines the distance between each column.
    • Grid Axis: Choose the axis (X, Y, or Z) along which the grid will be oriented.
  4. Click Preview to visualize your settings before applying them, or click OK to generate the duplicates. Each copy will be positioned according to the specified grid parameters.

Note

The original object is included as part of the grid and will occupy the position at row 0, column 0.
