Using the Array Dialog 471
array, each object is rotated 30 degrees farther
than the one before it.
Tot a l s : Parameters set on this side apply to the
overall distance, number or degrees, or percentage
scale in the array. Here are examples:
• A Totals Move X sett ing of 25 specifies a total
distanceof25unitsontheXaxisbetweenthe
centers of the first and last arraye d objects.
• A Totals Rotate Z setting of 30 specifies a
combined rotation of 30 degrees on the Z axis
divided equally among every object in the array.

Array Dimensions
The Array Dimensions controls determine the
number of dimensions used in the array and the
spacing between the dimensions.
Count : The number of objects, rows, or layers in
each dimension.
1D: One-dimensional arrays form a single line
of objects in 3D space, like a line of columns.

Spacing for these objects is defined in the Array
Transformation area.
A one-dimensional array, with 1D Count=6
2D: Tw o-d im ens iona l ar r ays for m a layer of
objects along two dimensions, like the rows of

of rows in the array.
A two-dimensional array, with 1 D Count=7 and 2D Count=4
3D: Three-dimensional arrays form multiple layers
of objects in 3D space, like neatly stacked boxes.
3D Count is the number of layers in the array.
