zArrayBetween

zArrayBetween arrays the selected objects between two picked points, along a plane.

Quick start

1. Run zArrayBetween.
2. Select the objects to array.
3. Define the array plane. With a single point or a single straight line selected, the world XY plane is used automatically. In other cases you click three points in turn: the origin, the X axis and the Y side.
4. Pick the start point and the end point.
5. The dialog opens. Adjust DISTRIBUTION and PLANE.
6. Bake creates the array. Cancel discards it.

DISTRIBUTION

• Mode: Fixed Count or Fixed Spacing.
• Count / Spacing: shows the one that matches the Mode.
• Even Fit: when on, in Fixed Spacing mode the count is rounded to a whole number and the remainder is shared evenly. When off, the copies are placed at the fixed spacing until the distance is used up.

PLANE

• Shrink Length (read-only): how far the two ends are pulled in. It can only be set by picking two points with Pick Edge. It cannot be typed.

Good to know

• A single point or a single straight line skips the three-point plane step and uses the world XY plane automatically.
• A start and an end point that are too close fail. If the two points coincide or are very close, the command fails.
