662 Chapter 9 Using the Replicator
Note: In general, the Cell Controls in the Replicator tab and the Replicator Cell tab are
persistent. For more information on the Cell Controls, see “
Replicator Cell Parameters”
on page 662.
Replicator Cell Parameters
The replicator cell parameters apply to the replicated objects—the elements—created
within a replicator. In a replicator with only a single cell, the cell parameters appear in
the Replicator tab in the Cell Controls group. In a replicator with multiple cells, each cell
has its own Replicator Cell tab that contains all parameters for that cell.
To display the Cell Controls for a single-cell replicator:
1 Select a replicator object.
2 In the Inspector, click the Replicator tab.
Animating Replicator Parameters
Any parameter that contains an Animation menu can be animated. The Animation
menu is represented by a small dash at the end of the parameter row. If you have
animated the replicator parameters, and you then apply a Simulation behavior, or a
Throw or Spin behavior, to the replicator, the keyframes that affect position or
rotation are ignored. For more information on applying behaviors to the replicator,
see “Using Behaviors With Replicators” on page 696.
