Array Type: RadialClone ToolChapter 5: Multiply Tab 167(default keyboard shortcut C)The Clone command (Multiply > Duplicate: Clone) createscopies of an item that you can spread out in an even layout orarray. You can create a series of copies along an axis at specifiedincrements. Clone duplicates a selected item one or more timesusing specific increments of distance, rotation, and scaling. Youcan create a spiral staircase out of a single step, or a wood screwout of a triangular polygon outline, for example.When Radial is selected, you have the following settingsavailable:Number — The number of repetitions of the original object.Axis — The axis perpendicular to the radial shape.Center — The coordinates of the center of rotation through whichthe axis extends.Use the Merge Points option to automatically merge points at theend of the operation.Enter the number of copies of the selection to create in theNumber of Clones fields.The Offset fields determine the incremental distance betweenone clone and the next along the X, Y, and Z axes.The Scale fields set the amount of incremental scaling for eachcopy.The Rotation fields set the amount of incremental rotating.NOTE: The effect is progressive, so the changeis applied to each clone based on the previousclone. So, for example, with scaling, the copies
