How to automate the assembly of a 3D array of identical objects
How to automate the assembly of a 3D array of identical objects
(OP)
Hello.
I need to make a 3D array of objects, in this case ball bearings, and mate them all together. I would like to automate the assembly so I can change the dimensions of the assembly, i.e., the number of ball bearings, in x,y, and z without a bunch of copy and paste. The challenge Im facing is how to do this and keep everything mated together.
The end product should look like this. With mates at all points of contact.
