Organizing paneling components

- [Narrator] Over the last several videos we've done a lot of work building up one of the major steps in our algorithm. And that is to lay out a flat array of 3-D panels. That's a step that's going to be crucial for us to be able to fabricate these through a process like CNC routing. So in this video I'm continuing where I left off. So here I'd like to just do a little bit of clean up. Do a little bit of testing on my data flow. And make sure everything is organized. So taking a look at some of my slider inputs here for this flat panel array. You can see I can adjust the number of columns. As I do that I'm seeing my panel array reorganize itself in Rhino. I can adjust the X spacings. That's the horizontal spacing between the panels. I can adjust the row spacing. That's kind of the spacing in the Y direction. Now, I noticed there's a little inconsistency here in my labeling. So I want to fix that. So I'll right click on this X spacing. Let's call this column spacing. And anytime we can…
