5. Arrays & Curves - jwoodruff40/Mjolnir-Forge-Editor GitHub Wiki

Arrays allow you to duplicate objects in a repeated pattern. To make an array of an object, select the object and Right Click -> Setup Array, and choose the array type in the bottom left panel.

Linear

Duplicates objects in a straight line, which can be modified by the offset parameter.

Object

Object offset allows much more advanced control over duplicates, such as making circles and spirals.

Curve

Curves are a special form of array that follows a spline. The curve can be edited by selecting it, pressing Tab, and selecting curve segments.

  • G - grab and move segment (X, Y, Z to constrain the axis)
  • R - rotate segment (X, Y, Z to constrain the axis)
  • E - extend/extrude segment
  • S - scale segment

The curve's tilt defaults to level, and can be set by the Tilt field in the top right panel.

Array of Multiple Objects

A multiple objects, such as a house for example, can be arrayed multiple times. I will likely simplify this, but this is how it is for now.

  1. Right Click -> Setup Array on one of the objects
  2. Select the objects you wish to also include in the array
  3. Reparent to the array object: In the hierarchy, hold Shift and drag the selected onto the "... Array" object. They will now appear nested inside the hierarchy and array'd. image
