just another tip, you can use the multiply command, using, instead of *, the x letter, so, if you want 5 objects, after copying, type 5x and you get 5 copys (keep in mind that the first one, that was the first copy is included in this 5 number)
you say that if you divide, for example, by 2 you don't get 2 poles but 1, this principle is wrong, when you divide by 2 you divide the spaces, so if you divide by 10, you get 9 poles and 10 spaces, this is the correct principle, not that the program divides 10-9
Awesome, helpful, and well explained. Just thought I would mention:
SketchUp is multiplying and dividing the length or space between the first two objects, not the number objects. That's why the dimension box still says Length. In a row of objects, there will ALWAYS be one less space between objects than the total number of objects. That's why it's "off by one." :)
Can you use this on components?

@welmance That's a fantastic way of explaining it! I'm going to use that next time I do a show.
