Create multiple objects with equal spacing in sketchup 6 and 7

In this 3d tutorial i will show you how to create multiple copy of your object with given equal spaces in sketchup, for your 3d model

1.) Open Sketchup. (Im using SU 6 and SU 7, dont know if it works in older versions)
2.) Create an object, ill be using a box for this example.



















3.) Select / highlight your object. (i group my object in this example) (note: it doesn't matter if you group it, make it component, or leave it as is.)














4.) Grab your move tool and create a copy of it by how far you want the distance per-objects. (i use 5' as my distance)












5.) After you have specify the distance, type in the value of how many copy including the the last objects including "x", with x means multiply by. don't forget to put the "x". (ill be using 4 as my example.) (note: im poor with math but this is how the computation happens, 4x1+1. which 4 as the Assign value.)













That's it, you made it. as simple as that. Hope this help and understand it to. Good luck.
___________________________________________________
additional information, if you want to create a horizontal alignment or any directions, in move tool(4), if you assign it vertical, horizontal or diagonal it will still copy the same exact position you assign to it. (pls. see example)
