# 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.

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.

{% 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.holoplot.com/holoplot-plan/working-with-matrix-arrays/moving-arrays.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
