Create an offset-pattern, similar to rectangular/circular pattern

Create an offset-pattern, similar to rectangular/circular pattern

Good day, Autodesk ! As i was trying to create something like a grid/grill for simplify the weigth and reduce some material from a 3D part, it came an ideea that can be able to create an offset pattern module  of a shape ( circle,square,rectangular, or any other shape from a sketch ) and not just create the simply offset, but also add the ideea of pattern of it, by adding the distance between them and number of elements patterned . What do you say about this ? for the begining the pattern could reffer to simple geometrical object as circle, rectangular, hexagon, lines, points . The offset pattern is similar to Centripeta  / centrifuga force  if i make a parralel to phisycs 😄 . it should combine : offset geometry+scale (maybe) +distance between the pattern elements created. OR TO NOT complicate the thigs, on SCALE module, you can add a COPY section  and an DISTANCE box ( or the scale factor box can remain but making another section like DISTANCE BETWEEN will help better, beside the Scale Factor )so the original geometry will remain and another will be created all this would be similar to the OFFSET - PATTERN ideea. Anyway, along all my explaining ideea i think you understood it .
