Nodes
Array Pattern nodes
Array Pattern nodes recover remembered Rectangular or Polar Array intent from Designer and expose count/spacing/angle settings for live graph-driven updates.
- Where to find it
- Create array in Designer, then add/recover stored patterns in Parameter Graph
- When to use it
- Changing array counts and spacing without rebuilding the pattern manually

Step by step
- Create and finish the array in Designer first.
- Select the relevant source/result and add remembered/stored patterns to the graph.
- Connect Value/Math nodes to Count, spacing, angle, rows or levels inputs as needed.
- Change the driving value and verify member geometry and Boolean ownership update together.
Polar inputs
Polar patterns can expose Count, FillAngle, AngleBetween, Rows, row spacing, Levels and level spacing plus pattern-source properties.
Rectangular inputs
Rectangular patterns expose the relevant column/row/level counts and spacing values from the Designer array metadata.
Live geometry sync
When Count changes, the graph can create/remove pattern members and update Boolean source lists rather than leaving stale hidden copies.
Keep in mind
- Treat the original Designer array as the source of pattern identity. Do not manually duplicate array members and expect the graph to infer one pattern afterward.
