The Array node creates multiple copies of an input geometry and arranges them in a linear, circular, or custom pattern. It offers flexible options for count, spacing, and randomization, allowing for both precise and organic duplication of geometry.
Geometry
The geometry to duplicate.
Shape
The method used for arranging the duplicates.
Line:
Arranges copies along a straight line.
Circle:
Arranges copies around a circle.
Curve:
Arranges copies along a curve input.
Transform:
Uses a transform offset or object transform to position each copy.
Offset Method Line
Determines how copies are spaced along a line.
Relative:
Offsets each copy relative to the bounding box size of the geometry.
Offset:
Offsets copies by a fixed world-space distance.
Endpoint:
Distributes copies evenly between start and end points.
Offset Line Relative
The amount to move each copy relative to its bounding box size when using Relative mode.
Count Method Circle Curve
Determines how the number of duplicates is defined.
Count:
Sets a fixed number of copies.
Distance:
Sets copies based on distance between them.
Count Circle Curve Count
The number of copies to generate.
Angular Distance Circle Distance
The angular distance between copies when using Circle shape.
Central Axis Circle
The axis used as the up direction for circular arrangements.
Circle Segment Circle
Determines whether the copies form a full circle or just a partial arc.
Full:
Copies are evenly spaced around a full 360° circle.
Arc:
Copies fan out along a circular arc.
Radius Circle
The radius of the circle along which the copies are distributed.
Sweep Angle Circle Arc
The total angle (in radians or degrees) spanned by the arc when Circle Segment is set to Arc.
Per Curve Curve
Specify the number of copies for each curve separately.
Curve Object Curve
Reference curve object for array.
Transform Reference Transform
Defines how the transform is applied for Transform shape.
Input:
Uses the transform specified directly in the node inputs.
Object:
Uses the transform of a specified object as the reference.
Translation Inputs Line Offset Endpoint
The positional offset applied to each copy.
Rotation Inputs Line
The rotation offset applied per copy.
Scale Inputs Line
The scale factor applied per copy.
Transform Object Transform Object
The object whose transform is used when Transform Reference is set to Object.
Relative Space Transform Object
Determines whether the transform is applied in object or world space.
Realize Instances
Converts the generated instances into real geometry. This must be enabled for certain operations such as merging or boolean operations.
Forward Axis
Axis that defines the facing direction of each instance along the circle.
Up Axis
Axis used as the vertical reference for instance orientation.
Offset
Maximum random translation offset for each axis, defining the variation in instance position.
Rotation
Maximum random rotation for each axis, defining how much each instance can be rotated.
Scale Axes
Determines how scaling randomization is applied.
Uniform:
Applies a single random scale factor uniformly to all axes.
Axes:
Applies independent random scale factors per axis.
Scale
Maximum random scaling factor applied to each instance.
Flipping
Randomly mirrors instances along one or more axes.
Exclude First / Last
Excludes the first (original) or last copy from randomization effects.
Seed
Initializes the random number generator. Changing the seed produces a different random arrangement while preserving other settings.
Merges overlapping points or vertices by distance. Requires Realize Instances to be enabled.
Distance
The distance threshold within which points are merged.
Geometry
The resulting geometry containing all duplicated and transformed instances.
