Foray back into Arrays of Arrays

[snowyweston]

Have (did) arrays-of-arrays break at some point?

Working in 2019.2 (i know i know) long tried and true methods of align-locking nested families by their origin centre to reference planes in a host family (either first or last) works all fine and dandy enough with a linear run...

but whilst arraying one of those (having grabbed all the group instances, and yes, the array controller) "works", and alignment-locks to those can be applied, any attempt to flex buckles them.

None of that has changed, that im aware of. That was never a "stable" method of doing it, as far as i can remember. Ive always used a Nested Family any time there needed to be an additional array direction.

-Parent Family (has Array E-W arrayed N_S)
-Array E_W (has Indiv arrayed E_W)
-Indiv (one instance)

awfully bad form of me to not including pictures or example files... (fixed)

That was never a "stable" method of doing it, as far as i can remember. Ive always used a Nested Family any time there needed to be an additional array direction.

Come to think of it - I've plenty of stuff already built that way so am probably "just" forgetting that hoop-jump this time round.

To my (dis)credit it's been a while since I made content.
