Using array to follow an object

[Ferruccio]

Hi all,

I´m quite new to Blender and face the following issue:

I’ve created a walking path (didn’t use curve or path) and want to add supports to it (constant offset). Could anyone assist? Is there a way to do this using the array modifier?

You’ll want geo nodes for this - @AlphaChannel

with geometry nodes you can use a simple setup like this:

by changing the length of the resample node you can change the distance like this:

You can use a raycast like this to turn a vertex group into ‘intelligent’ supports that seek the ground!

Hope that helps.
