| MAX software allows
geometry to use the "Pivot
Point"
of any nominated element in the scene as the basis for transforms.
This feature will be employed to distribute a number of
copies of
the "Rectangle"
along the
length of the arc. Before performing the operation the
"Rectangle
should be renamed to "PanelShape01". When duplicated, the
copies
will be similarly named and numbered incrementally as part of the
process. With the the renamed "PanelShape01" as the selection, left-click the arrow to the right of the "Reference Coordinate System" and select "Pick" from the drop-down list. This allows nomination of the arc 's pivot point as a reference for transforms applied to "PanelShape01". Left-click on the arc in the view to perform the nomination. |
