Using the Array Builder

You can create and define characteristics of new arrays with the Array Builder . To launch the Array Builder, click on the icon at the top left of the screen.

Add X1 or X2 modules

To choose which type of module you would like to add, use the Product Line dropdown in the array builder. Arrays can only be created with either X1 or X2 , and module types cannot be combined within the same array.

Configuring an array

Name your new array, the name can be changed later by double clicking the name of the array in the library or Active Preset Panel. The Array Builder displays the arrangement and module types in the Array. Increase or decrease the rows and columns to adjust your array’s size and shape. The Array defaults to a 1x1 MD96 array. For X1 Arrays, you can select one or multiple Modules and change the module type with the Select Module Type options at the bottom of the Array Builder

• Light Blue cells are MD96 modules
• Dark Blue cells are MD80-S modules

To add X2 modules, change to X2 in the Product Line dropdown to select MD30 modules.

• Yellow cells are X2 MD30 modules

Once you have customized the size and composition of the new array, click Add to create it. Your new array is placed at the origin point (0,0,0).

Editing arrays

To edit an array, simply head to the array in the Properties Panel and select the edit button next to the array. Click on the edit icon to modify the number of modules in the array.
