Has Vectorworks ever upgraded its Duplicate in Circular Array tool so that it works in 3D views other than Top/Plan?
I wish use VW to create crystal models that obey the rules of crystallography by rotating objects about 3D axes but in my version of VW this function only happens in top plan view. As far as I can see this basic function has not ever been upgraded?
To explain further by example, consider the body diagonal of cube (top, front, left to rear, bottom, right). This line (axis in my world) is at of complex angle to the three drawing (x, y, z) plans. If I place some atoms (spheres) some distance from this axis I want to be able the use the rules of symmetry to create the other instances of them in the 3D world but VW seems to have never considered such a construction. Does anyone know if VW has ever improved on this (semingly) simple function.
