Hope this helps someone out - I have never been able to get linear array to work without having the arrayed objects overlapping. I was trying to Chain and array to a stretch but was inevitable setting it up in error. I kept trying trying to use two parameters.
This technique uses parameters and actions, not parameter sets. I mention this because I was hoping someone could explain how to use a linear array set
chained to a stretch........anyone 🙂
Scenerio:
You want to stretch an object and array another set of objects based on the stretch movement.
1. setup the array via ARRAY not linear array parameter set
2. Add a stretch not a linear stretch parameter set, select the orignal array paramaeter
3. Setup the object to be strectched
4. Set the parameter properties to Chain = Yes
Be sure to set the interval and distance property settings to the desired values
The attached block also includes a wipeout. I keep the wipeouts on a separate layer so they can be frozen as routine drafting is being performed.
This is because many wipeouts become a heavy drag on the performance and can be quite frustrating. A typical data center floor plan can end up with so many wipeouts that it will cause the video to flicker as drafting tasks are performed.
