Completing the rails with the Array modifier
We will now turn the simple shape of our rails into a detailed and finished attachment rail. First, we will create one single step of the rail, and then we will duplicate it many times with the help of an Array modifier. The Array modifier duplicates an object any number of times we want it to and places them in an array according to the parameters we give.
Let’s get started:
- Start by separating the basic shape of the rail into a new object. We can do this by selecting it in edit mode, pressing P, and separating it by Selection. If necessary, join the two vertices at the bottom of the shape with J.
