Polar array（Polar array） Animation Tutorial
By determining the array parameters such as angle, number and total distance along the central axis, the group or component is arrayed in a ring. It's very convenient to make circular stairs.

Path array（Path array） Animation Tutorial
Select the path (a series of connected edges) and the group / component object. After executing the command, select the reference point to create an array. The group or component object will automatically rotate according to the direction of the path.

Vertical walls（Vertical walls） Animation Tutorial
Create a vertical wall based on the selected section, and the wall will always follow the mouse lofting. Different from its own path following, it has various functions that are useful to architecture.
