Can you set up an angular array in Sketchup for IPad? If so, how do you go about doing it? Haven’t been able to find anything on it.

I’m sure you can array using the rotate tool as you can is desktop - I think I’ve made a model with it.
From memory , It should be broadly the same as desktop - put the rotate tool into copy mode ( the plus sign) , make the rotate you want , then bring up the number pad to type in number of copies in that array you want to make / divide by .
I’m curious what an angular array is, I know linear and radial, is an angular array one that goes off at a tangent?
I’ve presumed (perhaps incorrectly , that they mean a radial/circular Array)
I’ve found the internet is not a great place for presuming, assuming or guessing. 
We shall see!
I meant “radial array”, although angular seems more descriptive to me!
Pretty much like desktop except there’s no keyboard modifiers to work with, just click the make copy option and then in the dimension box type number/ to distribute or number* to extrapolate. Doing a full circle, I found I had to type 360° first other wise it figures 0° on its own and nothing happens.
Thanks, that works! Now, to figure out why 3D text doesn’t work!
Sketchup for iPad 6.3 does not work this way on my iPad. Tapping on the Angle field displays a keyboard which does not have a ‘*’ key. If “6/“ is entered a single copy is made at 6 degrees of rotation.
I have a 2nd generation iPad Pro, though it seems like a feature like this shouldn’t depend on the version of iPad.
Take a screen shot of what you screen looks like for typing.
I think the subtle aspect to the above move is make one copy at 360° and then type 6/ and it infills the other copies. Not visually obvious is a duplicate object at the start and finish.
Already tried that. It just takes the first number. I.e., “6x60” yield one copy at 6 degrees. “6 x 60” does the same thing.
What is it that you want? Rotate to the desired angle and then type x6 or 6x for the number of copies.
Ah! That works. Enter the angle dialog twice…
Thank you.
Yes. It’s effectively the same as it’s always been on the desktop version.
Since I recorded this I’ll post it. The pencil battery was dead so I used my finger on screen and the keyboard to type numbers.
No doubt, but I’ve never seen or used the desktop version.
You should give it a try, it’s a lot better than with an iPad, at least for me, I’ve used the desktop version for almost 15 years, I tried to use sketchup for iPad but I hated it. I use it just as a viewer.
