Question here I searched for an array tool to circular array an item around a cylinder...I searched the help file and the forum and nothing.....

Try:-

Geometry -> Create -> Instance ->Create Instance (Circle)
Or
Geometry -> Create -> Instance ->Create Instance (Advanced)

You could also create a circle spline and use:-
Geometry -> Create -> Instance ->Create Instance (Spline or Advanced)
Or
Geometry -> Spline Commands n Tools -> Snap (to see that command, you will need to have a spline selected and in vertex selection mode)

What can you find if you use "circle" as key word in "Tool Search Window"?

Thanks Steve and Istonia.

I would have not figured those thing out by myself.
Everyday I try to model a few small things to get better.

Question here I searched for an array tool to circular array an item around a cylinder...I searched the help file and the forum and nothing.....Is the array tool in Nvil called the pose tool?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFIJVWbRscQ

Tnx,

Another quick question.
When "Show Spline tangent flow" is enabled, the normal's/flow are very small. The size of them now appears to be bound to the size of the spline vertex size, so zooming in does not help (just makes them smaller).

Is there a way to increase the size of the spline tangent flow without having to increase the size of the spine vertex?

Hi,
"use loft curve tangent spaces" not working. Have attached example file. Pics showing results from older version I use. No rush to fix it.

"Spline rig" working good.

I can't recall when they were removed and why. Just put them back on. Hopefully, it still works. I don't have time to check it out.

By the way, you can try out this new tool
