In the end, in parametric version, I would recommend to avoid move tool for solid bodies as long as you can. Maybe in a future it will be better but now it leaves a lot of actions in the history without any helpful information (like distance, for example).

Thanks for taking the time to make all of those examples. Very cool. And thank you to everyone who made suggestions. It’s been very helpful. I’m inspired to try out some experiments and new work flows. Thanks.

One doesn’t always necessarily need an array. Sometimes the array you need is non linear/not equidistant. The way copy used to work was the best. Now so many extra steps.
