Options
Per Step
This option denes whether the values for Position and Rotation apply from one object to the next
or from the rst object to the last. For example, suppose you have selected three spheres and set
the Position Y value to 300. If Per Step is enabled, the rst and second spheres will be 300 m apart;
the second and third spheres will also be 300 m apart; and the rst and third spheres will be 600 m
apart. If the option is disabled, the rst and last third spheres will be 300 m apart with the second
sphere midway at 150 m.
Position
A cloud of spheres arranged using the Arrange function.
Here you can dene whether and how the selected objects will be spatially arranged. The arrangement
will start from the position of the rst selected object in the Object manager. The other selected
objects will be moved away from this starting position. The directions refer to the world coordinate
system.
Depending on in which directions you want the objects to be moved, enable the X, Y or Z options and
enter the movement values for these axes into the Move boxes. For example, if you want to place all
objects in an object group onto a plane, enable the Y option and assign it a value of 0. All objects will
then be set to the same height as the rst selected object.
