Clone Matrix component
Takes a single object and produces a three dimensional array of evenly spaced clones. Inidividual items in the array can be found from their position and individually modified after the array has been created.

Detailed description
No detailed description exists yet for this component
Examples
The clone matrix can be used to create multiple panel objects based on the geometry of a single object.
Here we have a sphere object on the panel
By adding the Clone Matrix component and configuring the component properties we generate the cloned objects. If we need to re-clone the objects at any time then we can simply refresh the properties of the clone matrix component.
Here is the final output result on the panel.
Once the matrix is generated you can control the properties of the individual items.
Example showing how to collect the handle of one of the clones to allow it's individual characteristics to be edited. For example in creating the simulation for a LED Cube or Array.
