The Replicator

To change the Angle End of the replicator pattern:

1

In the Inspector, change Angle End to 50.

Now, as the array is built, the object at the Origin starts at zero degrees of rotation, and
the last object is rotated 50 degrees.

2

Save your project (press Command+S).

Now, you’ll change the shape of the pattern, and add more objects.

Replicator Patterns

The Replicator tab has three Arrangement options: Outline, Tile Fill, and Random Fill.
Outline uses the outline of the Replicator shape when building the array. Tile Fill (the
default) fills the shape with a number of objects based on the number of columns
and rows in the pattern. And Random Fill populates the area with a number of
objects equal to the Points parameter.

Outline Pattern, Points = 16

Random Fill, Points = 16
