Hello,

I've recently started using Vue for some illustration projects.  Because I came from the world of ye olde Bryce, the transition has been relatively smooth.  However, one thing I was able to do in Bryce easily, I can't figure out how to reproduce in Vue, and that is:  multi-replicate an object so it forms a circle of objects around a central space or other object.  I've experimented with different values of rotate and position coordinates and just can't seem to get it at all.  Is there a quick and dirty way of doing such a thing?

Thanks for your help!

Quick and dirty:

• Place the first object in position
• Go to the position tab
• Select show pivot
• Drag (or type)  the pivot to the center of youre desired circle
• Select rotation , Now Press "ALT" and drag or type the object.  (Same as copy)
• A new object occurs and it rotates from the center  (You can manually set the rotation angle or just drag)

Good luck

As an extension to what Cherryman described, you also use the replicate function and set the rotation around the pivot center  for each object and the number of objects in one quick step to evenly distribute the objects around your circle (rather than click and drag...). For example, 3 additional copies offset at 90 degree around z will give you four objects arranged in a circle, 7 additional ones at 45 degree give you a total of eight and so on...

Thanks!  That worked great.
