Pattern

This command allows you to select an object and replicate the number of rows and columns you want on a surface. It's ideal for quickly creating an extensive array of the same object, generating rich and beautiful patterns.

This command requires two elements: the object or group of objects and the surface on which to apply them.

Parameters

• Object Selector: Clicking this left square allows you to select the object you want to use for the pattern.

• Surface Selector: By clicking this right square, you can select a surface, to which the pattern will be oriented.

• Column: The number of column reiterations that will be generated.

• Rows: The number of rows your object will be repeated.

• X Padding: The margin between columns in millimeters.

• Y Padding: The margin between rows in millimeters.

• X Rotation: It's the amount of horizontal rotation in degrees you want to apply to your pattern.

• Y Rotation: It's the amount of vertical rotation in degrees you want your pattern to have.

• Reverse Mode: Needs a selected surface. Has three options, None, to disable it, Reverse X, to invert the horizontal orientation on the selected surface, Reverse Y, to invert the vertical orientation, and Both, to invert the orientation in the X and Y axes.

• Move on Z: The vertical distance above the surface where the pattern is being generated.

• Enable Max Thickness: Activates the maximum thickness.

• Max Thickness: Only applies if Enable Max Thickness is enabled. Sets the maximum extent in millimeters the pattern will not exceed.
