Almost forgot...

We also did linear arrays today...cloning one object and duplicating it across an area. The x, y and z axes can be manipulated to move the objects. This technique is perfect for making picket fences and stairs (and I'm not going to tell you that 3ds max has a stair tool anyway...).

I started with a box that will be one step of some stairs. Go to tools, then array and play with the count, 2D, and if you want, 3D, sliders. Make sure you have clicked 'preview' so you can watch the changes in your viewport. There are my basic stairs!
