# Moving arrays

The Array Builder will set all newly created arrays at your scene’s origin point (0,0,0). You can move and customize the position of the newly created arrays in the Array's Properties Panel. Imported arrays will correctly maintain their position from the origin in SketchUp and do not need to be repositioned in HOLOPLOT Plan.

To move the array position, select the array you wish to move which will bring up the array properties panel. Use the position fields to adjust the array position via the arrows in the spinbox, using your mouse wheel to scroll or by inputting the desired coordinates. The local origin point of an array is in the center and front (grill side) of the array. All movements will be done from this local origin in comparison to the world origin.

{% hint style="info" %}
You'll notice there are two ways to adjust an array's position

1. Position fields (X,Y,Z)
2. Rotation fields (H,V,R)

{% hint style="info" %}
The Position fields **(X,Y,Z)**  are cartesian coordinate that define the array's position.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The **r**otation fields **(H,V,R)** defines the horizontal (H), vertical (V), and roll (R) rotation of an array based on its origin.
