Array Modifier

The Array modifier creates an array of copies of the base object, with each copy being offset from the previous one in any of a number of possible ways.

Useful for creating complex repetitive drawings.

Multiple Array modifiers may be active for an object at the same time (e.g. to create complex three-dimensional constructs).

Options

The Array modifier.

Count

Total number of copies.

Material Override

Index of the material to use on duplicated strokes (0 use strokes original materials).

Relative Offset

Factor X, Y, Z

Adds a translation equal to the object’s bounding box size along each axis, multiplied by a scaling factor, to the offset. X, Y and Z scaling factors can be specified.

Constant Offset

Factor X, Y, Z

Adds a constant translation component to the duplicate object’s offset. X, Y and Z constant components can be specified.

Object Offset

Distance X, Y, Z

Adds a transformation taken from an object (relative to the current object) to the offset. It is good practice to use an empty object centered or near to the initial object.

Randomize

Offset X, Y, Z

Add random offset values to the copies.

Rotation X, Y, Z

Add random rotation values to the copies.

Scale X, Y, Z

Add random scale values to the copies.

Uniform Scale

Use the same random Seed for each scale axis in the copies for a uniform scale.

Seed

Seed used by the pseudo-random number generator.

Note

The Depth Order used in the Grease Pencil object has an influence on the visualization of the strokes when using the Array modifier. See Depth Order for more information.
