    Hello

    I’m not sure where this fits into the forum topics.

    I’m trying to figure out the logic to achieve something similar to the hole calculator by Dynamaker

    This outputs a hole pattern over an area’s width & height dimension.

    I’ve attached the project files
    I’ve managed to make an object repeat but its not dynamic.

    Can anyone suggest how I can approach this? is it possible with puzzles?

    Use this setup. Put in I amount of cloned objects, not the length to offset.

    Well… this is driving me crazy, seems so simple.

    I can create an array and clone a set of objects on X and Y positions. This gives me a single column array and a single row array, but I cant seem to clone an array and have it repeat the object on a new position.

    When I clone an array with JSON.stringify/parse, it only seems to show in the console.

    I think I need create an empty 2d array / grid matrix that can take varying lengths for the rows and columns.
    Then clone and append object to each cell.

    I think I also should move the object to centre in Blender and clone objects L&R / T&B so they clone centred.

    I also need to be able to adjust the X&Y distance between each object.

    I’m pretty much at the bottom of Mount Everest at this point.

    I ended up remixing the code from the Dynamic instancing example of the instancedMesh to run as an external JS function to copy the objects, they will all have the same material so this suits my case
