Array Object
The Array object (Objects > Modeling submenu) creates copies of an object and arranges them in a
spherical form or wave form. The wave (amplitude) can be animated. The original object must be a
child of the array. The copies are placed around the array object’s origin.

Denes the distance of the objects in the array (in the example above, the spheres) from the array
object’s origin.
Copies
Denes the number of copies of the original object. Note that the original object remains visible, so
the total number of objects in the array equals this value plus one.
