this is the only explanation that made sense to me. None of the others mention TAB, G, Y (G, Z).
Subscribed. Too many children with poor English attempting to demonstrate this to us newbies, trouble is, they merely serve to confuse.

Simple and straight to the point. This is how a tutorial should be. Thank you very much.

IF YOUR OBJECT IS DIFFERENT SIZES. Select both objects... CTRL + A... APPLY SCALE.

hello, when i click "offset" and select "empty" in modify panel, the object(cube, sphere), the object will generate several copies of different sizes, I don’t know what went wrong

I could've saved myself eight hours of frustration in 1 minute and 41 seconds. Hopefully I'll learn to check the videos before I waste so much time again. Thank you.

I wonder why they wouldn't just create a circular array modifier rather than having a workaround.
circular arrays are crucial for modelling symmetrical patterns which a LOT of ppl are doing.

[roozbehebadi]

This modifier is powerful and your tutorial shows it! thank you!

[Dan-liqw]

thx dude for explaining this one with little edit mode step that help me through the randomly object

[Topcatyo.]

Great tutorial, really appreciate how quick and to the point this was. Thank you!

[melbendigo]

Was going crazy looking for the answer to this problem! Thank you!

[LTzombeh]

ah youre a hero i was going insane i never would have remembered to move the origin point

[StrongmanLi-pzsl]

most straight one, thanks, saved me a lot of time.

When I rotate the empty around the Z axis it just results in my mesh rotating around the empty, without any array appearing. I followed all of your instructions except I selected a count of 20 instead of 12

[nuxttux]

Straight to the point. Very helpful tutorial.

[jrnexe]

this seems like a workaround to something that should be a feature.

my array makes wierd things when i tick the object offset box in the array menu

[jdshadow]

Every time I put the eye drop on the empty object the second cube just jumps there and I don’t know why

[denkozlov]

Thanks a lot! Funky results are quite interesting too if youre doing round steps.

I was in trouble because this process did not work with previous version thank you soo much you rescue me 🙏🏻😊

As soon as I click the eyedropper on the empty it adds another object to the centre point (empty) then rotates around this. I applied scale to both empty and object beforehand. I cannot delete the second object without the original going too. This is version 2.9
