I'm calling it assembly but it's really not, it's really just a single part which is a multi-body part in a weldment. And you can see it's part here 3.3-2. That makes it very easy to work with. So click on that part here, come up to assembly, click on "linear", and click on "patterns" and I want to choose my direction as this direction here along the I-beam. And as far my components to pattern I want this one here and as far as how many I want let's try here, six feet. Not six inches but six feet. See what happens.
