Circular translation propagation

Description:

Allows you to define circular array propagation. In difference with the pure rotation propagation, the circular translation or circular array propagation, keeps the initial element orientation when rotating it.

General philosophy:

1. Select the propagation axis.

2. Enter the propagation angle.

3. Select the point giving the radius of the circular array (considering the rotation axis).

4. Enter the total number of instances you want.

Example(s):

Available option(s):

You can swap between Total angle (angle between the first and the last instance) and Angle per instance (angle between two consecutive instances).

You can directly choose a 360° angle by selecting the  360° button.
