The
Linear Pattern command lets you create a linear
pattern by duplicating a shape. Patterns are recognized as such. All elements
in a pattern are identical. You can edit both the pattern itself and its
geometry. If a pattern cannot be created, multiple copies of the selected
geometry or shape, for example a face, are duplicated.
The
Selection Panel lets you:
Define the number of instances.
Define the spacing between the pattern elements. You can also use the
manipulators to define the spacing.
Customize the pattern direction using x, y, and z.
