Duplicating questions

TannedBatman

I have been wondering how people duplicate a long a line with the same space between a line. I think it is do with duplicate specials but I can't figure it out. I have made a representation of what happens after it is done.

In which software??
In Max, you can use "array".

Since Maya 2017 update 3 you can do this easily using Dash scripting:

In max there a numbers of ways to do this,

1. Array Tool (2d Array)
2. Spacing Tool (This can be alone a spline you choose)
3. Hold shift then drag the object in 3D space
*(Click on the axis of the transform gizmo X Y or Z to start your drag for a straight line)
*(In the popup window choose how many clones you would like to create)
4.Setup a grid to the distance you want seperation and use snap to grid

These are some that come to mind.

I am using Maya 2016 edition and I finally just figured out how it was done. It was with duplicate special and was quite easy I just didn't look at it hard enough. Thank you for responses they were helpful
