How does the array modifier work in Blender?
Adds a translation equal to the object’s bounding box size along each axis, multiplied by a scaling factor, to the offset. X, Y and Z scaling factors can be specified. Adds a constant translation component to the duplicate object’s offset. X, Y and Z constant components can be specified.
How to replace an item in an array?
The Array contextual ribbon displays. Click Array tab > Options panel > Replace Item. Select the replacement objects and press Enter. Select the base point for the replacement objects.
Can a multiple array modifier be used at the same time?
Multiple Array modifiers may be active for an object at the same time (e.g. to create complex three-dimensional constructs). Controls how the length of the array is determined.
How to delete items in an associative array?
Press and hold the Ctrl key, and then select the items in the array you want to erase. Click Home tab > Modify panel > Erase. Press the Delete key. In this example, two of the objects in the top row were deleted.
How does fit length work in Blender object mode?
Fit Length uses the local coordinate system length of the curve, which means that scaling the curve in Object Mode will not change the number of copies generated by the modifier. Applying the scale can be useful for both.
How do you transform an object in Blender?
IMHO, the best way to transform an object, especially on top of modifiers such as Mirror or Array (that will change the look of your object when you move it) is to add a bone on the same position as your object and then parent it using the automatic weights option. You just have to make sure that your object is entirely weight painted in RED.
Is the lattice modifier a transform modifier in Blender?
The Lattice modifier is close but it doesn’t transform the object as you might expect if you rotate it. I think the best thing you can do is to parent the object you want to non-destructively transform to an Empty and perform all the transforms on the Empty instead of the object.
