I have switched from skethcup and I’m having trouble with some basics. If I have a line and I want to place some objects along that line but dont have the time to do the math, is there a way to simply divide the line by the amount of objects. In sketchup this was done by after putting the dimension you added /5 this would have resulted in the line being divided by 5. How do you do this in shapr3d? Thanks, Jamie

Hi @KarisiaSafaris, have you tried the Pattern tool?
