Repeat a 2-dimensional sketch along some dimension, with a dynamic amount of distance between each repetition, some specified number of times.
patternLinear2d(
sketches: [Sketch],
instances: integer,
distance: number,
axis: [number],
useOriginal?: bool,
): [Sketch]
Arguments
| Name | Type | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
sketches |
[Sketch] |
The sketch(es) to duplicate | Yes |
instances |
integer |
The number of total instances. Must be greater than or equal to 1. This includes the original entity. For example, if instances is 2, there will be two copies -- the original, and one new copy. If instances is 1, this has no effect. | Yes |
distance |
number |
Distance between each repetition. Also known as 'spacing'. | Yes |
axis |
[number] |
The axis of the pattern. A 2D vector. | Yes |
useOriginal |
bool |
If the target was sketched on an extrusion, setting this will use the original sketch as the target, not the entire joined solid. Defaults to false. | No |
Returns
Examples
exampleSketch = startSketchOn('XZ')
|> circle(center = [0, 0], radius = 1)
|> patternLinear2d(axis = [1, 0], instances = 7, distance = 4)
example = extrude(exampleSketch, length = 1)
