All,

Is there a way to set/select a symmetrical Linear Pattern, so it can do two sides at once?

Also, I can’t seem to work out how to make circular pattern rotate around a space and not itself. Does anyone have a tutorial, please?

I think it was due to it being an import from STL. I have managed in a roundabout way.
