Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Distributes selected objects evenly along a specified path curve. The path can be a line, polyline, spline, arc, circle, or helix. This command creates a path array where items follow the shape and direction of the path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Command Prompt Sequence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Select the objects to array and press Enter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Select the path curve.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Adjust array settings: method, number of items, spacing, alignment, and base point.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Preview and confirm to finish the path array.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Key Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Method<\/strong>: Controls how items are distributed along the path \u2014 by count, by distance, or by total length.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Items<\/strong>: Sets the total number of copies along the path when using the count method.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Spacing<\/strong>: Sets the fixed distance between adjacent array items.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Align Items<\/strong>: Rotates each item to match the tangent direction of the path at its position.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Base Point<\/strong>: Specifies the reference point on the source object for positioning on the path.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Direction<\/strong>: Reverses the start and end direction of the path array.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • The source objects and path curve can be edited after array creation; the array updates automatically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • You can explode the path array into individual independent objects if needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Closed paths are supported, which makes continuous circular or loop arrangements possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Application Scenarios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Use PATHARRAY for railings, paving patterns, cable routing, decorative trim, fence elements, and other design elements that follow curved or irregular paths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
