Making Array to have Array with Dynamic Blocks?

szeplaki_k — Tue, 12 Dec 2023 12:48:47 GMT

Hi, just discovering the possibilities of the Dynamic blocks and the limits how many things we can use them for. I'm curious if it's possible to complete pallet locations with it? We can make the shape into an Array so we can extend it to left-right, up-down. But it is possible to somehow move it diagonally? Gonna attach a picture on the questionable field, but it's might not possible within boundaries of dynamic blocks. Do anyone have an idea how to make a single pallet spot extend into a 9x9 location, so it would be easier to adjust?

It could be 3 different arrays. One horizontal row, one vertical column and one that fills in both directions.

Or 2. One vertical column and one that fills in both directions.

Or 1, that fills in both directions and you just use two of them as needed.

@szeplaki_k See the attached drawing. The first block does it with one grip. The second block does it with two grips

@h_s_walker That's perfectly it! Thanks for the help both of you, is there a tutorial or guide on how did you made this Drawing2 you have attached? I really want to make it myself and learn how to do next time.

Pretty new in the dynamic block learning

ARRAYRECT will also do this with any object you choose. It also gives you the option of changing the spacing in both directions.
