# Array Nodes in Tools

Array Nodes

**Array nodes** generate patterns and repetitions of geometry in linear, rectangular, polar, grid, and random arrangements.

**Linear Array:** Creates multiple copies of an object in a straight line along a specified direction, with uniform spacing between instances. You can set the direction using the vector input (default is the X-axis) and control how many copies are generated using the count input.

**Rectangular Array:** Generates copies of an object in a 2D grid pattern (along the X-Y plane). You can change the spacing and count in both directions using the Margin X or Y and Count X or Y respectively.

**Box Array:** Creates copies of an object arranged inside a 3D box volume. You can control the count and the distance along X, Y, and Z axes using Count and Margin respectively.

**Polar Array:** Distributes multiple copies of an object around a central point in a circular pattern. You can specify the number of copies and the rotation angle.

**Curve Array:** Places copies of an geometry along a curve at specified intervals or normalized positions. The object follow the curve’s orientation.

**Populate 2D:** Randomly distributes points across a 2D surface or region. Useful for procedural placement of geometry or patterns.

**Populate 3D:** Randomly distributes points within a 3D volume. Ideal for creating volumetric arrangements or particle-like distributions.

**Populate Geometry:** Distributes points over an input geometry (surface or curve) either randomly or according to specified patterns. These points can then be used to place objects.

**Hexagonal Grid:** Generates a grid of points or objects arranged in a hexagonal (honeycomb) pattern. Useful for tessellation or repeating structures.

**Rectangular Grid:** Creates a regular grid of points or objects in a rectangular layout on a plane. Allows control over spacing and number of rows and columns.

**Square Grid:** A special case of the rectangular grid where the spacing is equal in both directions, forming perfect squares.
