I use arrays fairly often, polar, rectangular, along a curve, the works.

Are they planning to add arrays?

First thing I came to search for after signing up for forum…I need arrays!

We do. 🙂 Very important feature, at the moment we are investigating the best way to implement it. It’s a bit tricky, because it can easily create thousands of bodies, thus the scalability of this feature is the biggest question. But we consider this very important, however I can’t promise that we will deliver it this year.

How about just adding an alert dialog if the resulting bodies/faces might affect performance?

Having a small numeric dialog for number of copies appear when activating/long pressing copy during move would be a perfect implementation. Having it this way limits the copies in one dimension at a time, thus setting some sort of restriction but at the same time being incredibly useful.

Just my $0.02
