Added 2023-11-15 16:08:25 +0000 UTCThis is a blender add-on for fast creation of radial (circular) arrays, screw modifiers and duplicating objects radially around the 3D cursor.
Duplicates have adjustable parameters that are continuously available even after you move, scale or rotate them.
These parameters are accessible either through the panel in the sidebar or by shortcuts in the add-on preferences.
