Array - clock face issue I am following the concept of using the array modifier on an object, using an Empty axis, to create 12 points on a clock face.
I have failed to get to the point of turning the axis to create each new object copy.
The issue is that as soon as I select the Empty as the Object Offset, I get exponential creation of cube objects with huge dimensions.
I thought I had set everything correctly on my object.
The cube object dimensions are .002m x .040m y .001m z
This is .11615 up the Y axis.
The Empty is at the 0 origin point
The Array modifier on the cube has a Fixed Count of 12 with Relative Offsets ticked and set to 0
As soon as I tick the Object Offset with the Empty object, I get the huge object dimensions created (eg the X dimension is 1999999878979204987924730871808 m!!!!!)
I have attached images of the object, empty, and result of Object Offset.
Also, I have saved a version of my issue, without the Object Offset ticked, at https://www.dropbox.com/s/b961mhcttzhbzfq/stack.blend?dl=0
I realise I will be missing something simple but have not spotted this in videos I have seen online.
You need to go to the cube and enter Ctrl + A and hit scale to apply the scale of the object, this is to avoid the size issue. However this does not completely solve the issue because when you rotate the empty by a whopping -800 degrees on the Z axis it is off centered and the rotation is not right as seen below.

To fix this, remove the empty as the object offset of the cube, and put the cursor with Shift + S in the center of the selected cube. Then create a new empty and make it a child of the empty at the center of the scene by clicking the new empty and Shift selecting the empty in the center then hitting Ctrl + P &gt; Object.

Afterwards make the Object Offset in the array the new empty at the center of the object. Now you can rotate the center empty by 30.1 degrees (360 degrees / 12 pieces, the added 0.1 makes it more centered somehow).
EDIT: 30.0939 is the precise rotation seems like.
The final result should look like this with no weird rotations.
