hi,  
is there anyway to make for example a 3x3 array of circles with constants so I can change the radius of them but then revolve them to make spheres and then by extension change the radius of the spheres? because right now when I revolve them the constraint feature disappears.

thanks 🙂

Hi,

Currently there is no connection between sketches, and the bodies generated from them. You can create the array with Pattern tool, in which case you can change all of them together, however at the end you have to revolve them again to have new spheres.
