Looper v2.0 ⌘ + L

Looper is a sketch plugin that helps automate duplication of groups and layers. One can control properties like Rotate, Scale and Opacity while duplicating. This powerful combination enables artists and designers to create interesting geometric and organic patterns.

• Install via Sketch Runner, Sketchpacks, or Sketch Toolbox by searching for Looper.

Old-Fashioned

Make sure you have the latest version of Sketch installed. (Sketch 40+)

Features

Duplication count

Duplicate selected group or layer by providing the duplication count or Looper can automatically calculate the count based on the rotation angle to form a complete circle.

Scale

Selected group or layer can be scaled by absolute value (px), proportional value (%) or at random.

Opacity

Opacity of selected group or layer can be set to update at random, increase from 0 to 100 or decrease from 100 to 0.

Rotate

Rotate selected group or layer by providing a specific rotation angle or Looper can automatically calculate the angle required based on the duplication count to form a complete circle.

Rotation angle can be incremented in a linear fashion, randomly or can be set to increment sinusoidally.

Move

Selected group or layer can be moved Horizontally, Vertically and Diagonally with a set increment value. Duplicated items can also be distributed randomly within a given dimension (width & height)

Form a grid

Duplicate the selected group or layer to form a grid. Number of columns, rows, horizontal margin and vertical margin can be manipulated. You can also alter other properties like opacity, rotate and scale to the grid elements.

Examples
