distribution object, you must adjust the Transform
settings in order to see the duplicates.
Rotation group
Specifies random rotation offsets.
X, Y, Z deg—Enterthemaximumrandomrotational
offset you want about t he local X, Y, or Z axis of
each duplicate.
Use Ma xi mum R ange—When on, forces all three
settings to match the maximum value. The other
two settings become disabled, and the sett ing
containing the m aximum value remains enabled.
Local Translation group
Specifies translation of the duplicates along their
local axes.
X, Y, Z—Enterthemaximumrandommovement
you want along the X , Y, or Z axis of each duplicate.
Use Ma xi mum R ange—When on, forces all three
settings to match the maximum value. The other
two settings become disabled, and the sett ing
containing the m aximum value remains enabled.
Translation on Face g roup
Lets you specify the translation of duplicates
along barycentric (page 3–914) face coordinates
of the associate face in the distribution object.

Scaling group
Lets you specify the scaling of duplicates along
their lo c al axes.
X, Y, Z %—Specifies the percent of random scaling
along the X, Y, or Z axis of each duplicate.
Use M a x imu m R a nge—When on, forces all three
settings to match the maximum value. The
other two settings become disabled, and the one
containing the maximum value remains enabled.
Lock A s pe ct Ra t i o—When on, maintains the
original aspect ratio of the source object. Typically,
this provides uniform scalin g of duplicates. When
LockAspectRatioisoff,andanyoftheX,Y,and
Z settings contain va lues g reater than 0, the result
is non-uniform sca ling of duplicates because the
values represent random scaling offsets in both
positive and negative directions.
