Hi Alex - well it's big focus for MoI to be a streamlined and easy to use drawing tool and so a massively complex control panel with 40 something controls in it is pretty much not a very good fit for it.

Something like that would work as an optional plug-in though.

There are a few various array plug-ins already out there, check these out and see if they may be of use to you:


Scale array - apply an incremental scale factor to an array:

Script array - generalized array plug-in that modifies stepping and rotation for each array instance - modify script to produce different effects:

Well, I saw several super dense and heavy kind of semi chaotic organic models... Such things just in general are often not a good fit for CAD programs and can work better in polygon mesh based programs instead.

CAD programs tend to be more focused on more structured and less chaotic types of models.
