Creating a Polar Array

The Polar Array tool enables you to reproduce one or more objects in a regular circular arrangement around a specified central point. The procedure involves using the mouse, moving the cursor and typing values into the Command bar.

To create a Polar Array:

Click or select Modify > Polar Array (or type polararray in the Command bar).
The Command bar prompts you to "Select object(s) for the array"
Select the object (or objects) you want to reproduce, and press Enter.
The Command bar prompts you to "Select the centre of the Polar Array"
Click within the model to select the point around which the Polar Array will be generated.
The Command bar prompts you to "Select the object reference point"
Click within the object (or at one point within the selected objects) to define the reference point around which the array will be generated.
The Command bar prompts you to "Select the increment angle"
Click at the point which represents the angle you want to maintain between each object as it is plotted in the array.
The Command bar prompts: "How many objects in the Polar Array"
Type the number of reproduced objects you want to appear in the array and then press Enter.
The Command bar asks: "Do you wish to rotate the object(s) as they are copied?"
To rotate the objects, type y and press Enter; if you do not want to rotate the objects, type n and press Enter.
The arrayed objects are displayed in LEGION Model Builder workspace. All properties and links associated with the original object are also associated with the objects in the array.
