# Array Object
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Operation Type | |
Linear - The elements in the array follows a linear path
Circular - The elements in the array follows a circular path
Along Shape - The elements in the array follow a spline
|
| Slot Source | | The source (parent) shape/the object being repeated |
| Local Rotation | Decimal | Rotation applied around the axis of each source copy in the X, Y, and Z directions |
| Local Offset | Decimal | Offset applied around the axis of each source copy in the X, Y, and Z directions |
| Local Scale | Decimal | Scale applied around the axis of each source copy in the X, Y, and Z directions |
| Count | Decimal | The number of source copies being created |
| Decompose Shape | | Convert the current array into a hierarchy of its components |

Parameters for linear operation type
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| ----------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Start Point | Decimal (Meters) | The first position on the line where the initial (source) object of the array is placed. |
| End Point | Decimal (Meters) | The last position on the line where the initial (source) object of the array is placed. |
Parameters for linear operation type in the inspector
Parameters for circular operation type
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --------- | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Offset | Decimal (Meters) | The location of the center of the Array in the X, Y, and Z directions relative to its anchor point. |
| Radius | Decimal (Meters) | The distance from the center to the perimeter of the circle. |
Parameters for circular operation type in the inspector
Parameters for along shape operation type
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| ----------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Shape | | The defined path spline |
| Use Tangent | On/Off | Rotate each instance in the array to match the tangent direction of the path spline at the point where it is placed. |
