The array tool can be used to create multiple shifted copies of a polygon selection. It is quite similar to the clone tool with the difference that it creates it copies in a three dimensional array and that the copies are always aligned to the local X-, Y- and Z-axis.

Modes
The array tool can only be applied to raw polygon objects. It's only available in polygon mode.

• 
  To use the array tool, select some polygons of a raw polygon object. If you don't select any polygons, all polygons of the mesh will be cloned. Then call the menu command "ToolsPolygonArray". Now set all the necessary parameters of the array tool in the tool properties editor. After clicking the apply button, the selected polygons will be cloned into an array.

• Holes: The percentage of copies which will be left.
• Offset: The offset between the copies.
• Position variation: Adds a random vector to the position of the clone.
• Scale variation: Multiplies the scale of the clone by a random scale.
• Keep ratio: The object proportions will be retained while using the scale variation property.
• Rotation variation: Adds a random rotation to the clone.
• Apply: Press the apply button to perform the array tool.
