Hi there! :smile: Someone out there know how to evenly distribute different objects on a line? Can’t use array because i don’t want to copy one object - just want to arrange different but already existing objects with the same distance in between. I have looked around on-line and it seems that I n…

OK, sorry, this one fell through the cracks. Here is a revised version of the original (simple) script that also accepts hatches: SpaceOutObjs.py (796 Bytes) And here is a slightly more sophisticated one that I also modified to accept hatches SpaceOutObjsXYZ.py (3.2 KB) But you might want to ch…

Hi Mitch, Thanks for that… Most appreciated. I can see this now work with hatches, which is great, but unable to work with groups. Do you think it is possible for it to work with groups? unfortunately I am not yet able to get Rhino V6, as I am on Mac. hoping it comes out soon… I also have one oth…

You can try the WIP, it is already available…

There is no one “perfect” setting for all programs… However if you have a Rhino file and some settings that are not working, feel free to post an example here.
