28 - **Main objects** panel contains shapes to be translated. Shapes are selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser;
29 - **First direction** defines translation in the first direction:
31 - **Vector of translation** defines vector along which the object will be translated. Vector is edge, axis selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser;
32 - **Step** defines the distance between the shape copies;
33 - **Nb. Copies** is the number of shape copies;
35 - **Second direction** check-box turns on/off translation in the second direction:
37 - **Vector of translation** defines vector along which the object will be translated. Vector is edge, axis selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser;
38 - **Step** defines the distance between the shape copies;
39 - **Nb. Copies** defines the number of shape copies.
41 **TUI Command**: *model.addMultiTranslation(Part_doc, [shape], axis1, step1, Nb1, axis2, step2, Nb2)*
43 **Arguments**: part + list of shapes in format *model.selection(TYPE, shape)* + 2 axis in format *model.selection(TYPE, shape)*+ 2 real (step values) + 2 integers (Nb. Copies).
47 Result of operation is a compound.
