Replicator HUD Parameters

Like all objects in Motion, the Replicator HUD contains frequently used parameters that
are necessary to modify the shape and arrangement of the replicator. These parameters
are a subset of the parameters found in the Replicator tab of the Inspector. The HUD
contains a group of sliders and pop-up menus that provide an easy way change the
shape of the pattern, as well as the arrangement of the objects within the pattern. The
HUD also provides quick access to the Opacity and Blend Mode parameters, which are
located in the Properties tab of the Inspector.

When working in 3D, additional transform parameters become available in the HUD.
For more information on using the HUD’s 3D transform controls, see “
