- Select an object, as listed above.

From the Transform section of the action bar, click Object Repetition
 .
- In the Instance(s) box, enter the number of instances of the object you want to
create.
-
Select the repetition mode.
| Option | Description |
|---|
| Absolute (default mode) |
The parameter of the repeated feature directly refers to the parameter
of the parent feature. |
| Relative |
The parameter of the first repeated feature refers to the parameter
of the parent feature. Every next repeated feature will refer to the
parameter of the previously created feature. |
A new parameter called Relative XXX is
aggregated under the repeated features in the tree (except for the first repeated feature).
Therefore, every created repeated feature is created with the spacing value of
the previous feature plus the Relative XXX value.
-
Select Create in a new Body to put all the instances in
a separate body.
A new geometrical set or ordered geometrical set is created
automatically, depending on the type of body the points or planes to be repeated
belong to. In case an ordered geometrical set is
created, it is considered as private: it means that you cannot perform any
modification on its elements (deleting, adding, reordering, etc., is
forbidden).
- Click OK.
The object is created as many times as required in the Object
Repetition dialog box. Note:
See
each specific object creation for further details on what parameter is taken
into account for the repetition.
