Hello Taeshin,

I get the same result. The orientation of the parent is not considered in the array. (I think it would be nice if it were.)  And the orientation of the array applies to the array as a whole, not to the individual elements.

However, there is a non-sequential geometry object intended to provide the functionality I think you want. Look up “Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS)” in the help system.

Hello Guys,

Yes, you are correct, unfortunately the orientation of the Parent Object is not taken into account when creating the Array Object. However, there are 3 parameters dedicated for this purpose on the Array Object directly. These are Parameters 17, 18, and 19, Tilt x, Tilt y and Tilt Z respectively. These define the element tilt in degrees about the X, Y, and Z directions. Please note these tilts are about the "normal" local X, Y, and Z axes, and not the user defined X’, Y’, and Z’ axes. This way of definition directly in the Array Object has the advantage that you may create multiple arrays with different orientations from the same Parent Object :)

This would look like the following in the NSCE:

Best,
