数组

An array is a list — an even arrangement of elements.

数组是一个列表ー元素的均匀排列。

Using Array you can duplicate the selected points or polygons of an object (in the following this selection is referred to as an element) and distribute them more or less evenly in the X, Y and Z directions. You can vary the size and rotation of the duplicated elements about their axes.

使用 Array 可以复制对象的选定点或多边形(在下面的选定内容中称为元素) ，并在 x、 y 和 z 方向上或多或少地均匀分布它们。您可以改变复制的元素的大小和它们的轴的旋转。

With these options you can duplicate the array of elements in a perfectly even manner or alternatively produce a more random, scattered surface or point order.

使用这些选项，您可以以完全均匀的方式复制元素数组，或者选择性地生成更随机、分散的表面或点顺序。

Arrays will always be duplicated along the object axes of the selected object. Connected surfaces are coherently duplicated. If no elements are selected, all surfaces and points of the selected object are duplicated. If just points alone are selected then they will be duplicated without their adjacent surfaces. To create surfaces for these points, use the Bridge tool or Create Polygon tool.

数组将始终沿着选定对象的对象轴复制。连接的表面是相干复制的。如果没有选择任何元素，则所选对象的所有表面和点都将被复制。如果只选择点，那么它们将在没有相邻表面的情况下被复制。要创建这些点的表面，使用桥工具或创建多边形工具。

Consider a blade of grass. You could easily use the Clone tool from the Mesh menu to copy the blade of grass and then randomly distribute these copies with the Randomize function. The disadvantage of this method is the many individual objects that result from it. With the Array tool you duplicate just the surfaces (or points) and not the complete object. Thus you can produce a complete meadow from a single blade of grass.

考虑一片草叶。您可以很容易地使用克隆工具从网格菜单复制草叶，然后随机分发这些副本与随机化功能。这种方法的缺点是由此产生的许多单独的对象。使用数组工具你只复制曲面(或点) ，而不是完整的对象。因此，你可以用一片草叶生产出一片完整的草地。
