Calculating X offsets

“

- So in the last video we looked at measuring each of the individual panels plus a spacing factor that we can add to move them a little bit apart from one another. So lets just take a look really quick with a panel and see what's coming out of that step. So you can see here, I'm getting measurements for each of the sets of panels and those paths are arranged into groups of four indices and that's corresponding to the number of columns that I set and my slider earlier on. Now, if we think through this here, we are getting the dimensions of each panel plus a spacing factor. That's a little bit different than the actual offset we would need to apply to each panel if we were to move it in space and that's because those offsets would need to be the dimensions compounded with each other. So the further down that column we go the more these factors should get added together and that's what we are going to work on in this video. So lets delete this panel and I am going to pull up a mass…
