Hi Marek, if you can post a .3dm model file with an example of before and after it was applied that would help me to make sure I understand what you are asking for.

Hi Michael,

Here you go, first you have a default spacing of the letters (52,7):
#1.

Now I need these letters to be evenly distributed on the 85,6 distance, so I move there the last letter:
#2,

and then apply the script you provided already:
#3.

I'm asking for one command procedure to get this thing.

Marek

Hi Marek, thanks for the example file.

I've updated the Distribute command at:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8503.13

It now has a "Set length" checkbox option and if you set it, a "Length" field will appear where you can enter in an overall length value.

- Michael

That's it.

Thank you Michael,
Marek

Seems there is a glitch on your new command Distribute when you define a length!

Cubes are 10 * 10 * 10 !
At the end there are all on the same place! ???

Hi Pilou,

re:
> Seems there is a glitch on your new command Distribute when you define a length!

It looks like you're giving it an invalid length, your length is shorter than the width of the objects.

The command is for distributing objects with even spacing between them across a length. If your length is less than the total width of the objects then it is not possible to do that.

- Michael

If the distribution length is 1/3 of one object width it looks like this, so another option would be picking the distance instead of putting in numerical value.
And watching how it changes, before the final click.

Hi Pilou,

re:
> Cubes are 10 * 10 *10 !

Then your length should be a minimum of 30 for 3 such cubes to be able to fit with 0 space between them. As you go larger than 30 then there will be spacing added between them.

- Michael

< As you go larger than 30 then there will be spacing added between them.

OK ! Was not evident at first view! :)
Confusion (for me) between "on a length" and "absolute distance" between object...
that is an another one existing...

It could be another 1D Scale but limited to the Distance not the objects.

Hi Michael,

Is it a big deal to have in MoI a Scale option as in ScalePositions in Rhino?
Situation when you have several objects and you want to scale a space between them not the objects?
In Rhino it is even a polar option for objects arrayed circular.

Hi Marek,

re:

Is it like the ExplodeMove command in Moi?

That is doing the same thing as ExplodeMove in MoI.

Here's a demonstration, compare the result to the video you linked:

Well -

- YES!!!

I was misled by the command name.

Thank you, Michael.

Marek

BTW,

Where can I find a list of all commands as I may not know about other gems of this type?

Marek

Hi Marek, in the reference section of the help file go to "Additional commands":

Hi Michael,

Great, thank you as I found only these here: http://kyticka.webzdarma.cz/3d/moi/ - 'List of commands without UI button' - but the older version.

Marek

As always - read the manual first...
