Offset multiple planes

Offset multiple planes

I would like to offset x amounts of planes with an X distance inbetween (doesn't matter if it is on a body or just planes). At the moment the method for doing this (based on my experience) is VERY redundant; I have to first offset a plane, click on the previously created offset plane and then offset from there and so on. At the moment I have to manually make 200 planes like this and this is very time-consuming!
A simple algorithm that would base the offset from the initial offset with a distance and distance between planes would be awesome!

It almost sounds like you want the ability to pattern planes. At least that way there's already an existing workflow to reuse, and would allow for, say, circular plane patterns.

I got it to work! 

I used "Pattern on Path" from the "Create" drop down menu, like Lance.C also pointed out!

So I first create 1 plane that I wanted to offset from. Then, I selected the plane and the body in which I wanted to make a similar plane and selected "pattern on path" and from there I could select the quantity! Problem solved!
