Repeat in a line

Ask Agent to create repeated parts at a consistent interval, or assemble a small row with Duplicate and Move.

Before you start

Choose Show3D Agent in the AI workspace’s Agent tab, or use a connected Codex session. This operation is available through Agent; there is no dedicated hands-on panel. For a few repeated objects, you can also use Duplicate and transforms.

Use the operation

Create equally spaced posts, slats, or similar repeated parts.

  1. Specify the part's shape and dimensions, the total number of parts, the row direction, and the first position.
  2. State center-to-center spacing or give the clear gap and part width. For example: six posts, width 0.2, spaced 1 unit center to center along X.
  3. Ask Agent to create the row in the intended scene and group or name its parts for later selection.
  4. Count the parts and check the interval from the first to the last. Ask for a targeted spacing change if needed.

Controls and choices

ControlsWhat changes
Total countIncludes the first part. Make the distinction between total objects and additional copies explicit.
Offset per partThe repeated position increment. A zero increment places parts on top of one another.
OrientationKeep each part's rotation identical for a straight row, or describe a deliberate rotation increment.

Try it in your scene

Ask Agent for six posts along X, each 0.2 units wide with 1 unit between centers. Check the count and spacing.

Check the result

A row of N parts has N−1 center intervals, so six parts at one-unit spacing span five units between their first and last centers. Check overlaps separately from center spacing. The created row contains scene objects; changing one does not establish a live array modifier.
