Path array - begin placing objects with an offset?

Hi all,

 

Is there any way to offset the starting point of items copied along the path?

 

I have a guide path, along which I can place objects with a certain distance in between them - let's say these will be the axis of my future building. Along the same path (keeping the orientation) I would like to place a second set of objects, but only on every other "axis." Is this possible? Moving the second object away from the path's starting point does not keep the same orientation as the original array.

 

On the screenshot you can see (in green) the original path with the axis object placed exactly on the path start point and perpendicular to its direction. In magenta, the offset of the items is the same, the axis object is just moved by 1 unit along the path, but this already results in misalignment later in the array.

Ah damnit, I of course found the solution just after posting.
START OFFSET in Properties Tab - can be edited when in Divide mode and then it's possible to set it back to Measure and the Start Offset stays.
