Dynamic Block Stretch and Array

jasmin_dooley — Tue, 22 Nov 2016 11:03:31 GMT

Hi there,

Please could someone help me.

I'm trying to make some blocks and the block I'm currently trying to make needs an array (I think). I've looked at a couple of YouTube videos and done exactly the same process as the people in the videos did, but it still does not work or it goes completely crazy and I have no idea why.

Please could someone explain to me how to get this to work please.

Thanks.

Hi there,

I've attached the block and I tried doing the stretch array but it now looks weird.

Please help me.

Hi there,

Thank you for this! You've managed to do it! Although how? Please could you explain so that I know how to do it myself.

I would like the middle bit to be stretched with it too though. Is this possible?

Let me know.

Thanks

Jazz 🙂

Basically this block needs to stretch up and down and also across. But with the across stretch the lines need to have an array so that when it gets stretched there are still lines throughout.

could you tell me (or draw) more precisely what you need

you need to stretch to both sides simultaneously?

Hi there,

So the image attached below has got which parts I need stretching. But like we've already spoken about and you helped me with, the vertical lines through the block need to be arrayed so that when you stretch the bottom perimeter extra lines appear as it gets longer. But also with the bottom stretch then middle diagonal pieces need to stretch sideways too.

The two stretch perimeters on the side need to basically stretch as well in case it needs to be taller.

What you did was brilliant because you got it to array when it's stretched, but I need all the stretches to be from the mid point so that they can be stretched from both directions.

I hope this makes sense.

You are brilliant! Thank you!

I literally just managed to do this but I still couldn't do the array.

Please could you explain how you did the stretch and array from the midpoint please?

(Attached is my one but without the array).
