Elements for specifying parameters for building an array in the circular and radial directions are located in groups Circular direction and Radial direction on Parameter panel.
To set the grid parameters expressed in linear and angular values, you can use the commands of geometric calculator.

Grid parameters in the circular direction

The mesh parameters in the circular direction are set in the group Circular direction.

The Instances by direction field specifies the number of array instances in the circular direction. The specified number includes the original array instance and determines the number of grid beams.

The Angle between button group allows you to select an option for interpreting the angle between the grid beams:

By adjacent instances — the angle between adjacent beams of the grid is set,

By last instances —  the angle between the first and the last beams of the grid is set,

In field Angle the angle between the grid beams is specified. The value should not exceed 360°. If an angle of 360° is specified between the extreme beams of the grid, then the array instances are distributed evenly along the entire circumference.

The button Change direction to the right from the field Angle allows you to change the direction of adding grid beams from the original instance to the opposite.

The button group Angle between in the field Angle are present in the Parameters panel if the number of instances in the circular direction is greater than one.

Grid parameters in the radial direction

The grid parameters in the radial direction are set in the group Radial direction.

The Instances by direction field specifies the number of array instances in the radial direction. The specified number includes the original array instance and determines the number of grid circles.

The Distance between button group allows you to select an option for interpreting the distance between grid circles:

By adjacent instances — the distance between adjacent grid circles is set,

By last instances — the distance between the first and last circles of the grid is set,

The Distance field specifies the distance between the grid circles. Change direction button  to the right of the Distance field allows you to change the direction in which circles are added from the original instance to the opposite one.

The Distance between button group and the Distance field are present on the Parameter panel if the number of instances in the radial direction is greater than one.
