780 Chapter 9 Using the Replicator
If the shape is a rectangle, dragging a corner or edge of its bounding box changes the
Size parameter value. You can adjust only the width, only the height, only the depth
(for a box [3D] replicator), or all size parameters simultaneously.
Using Replicators in 3D
Replicators use 3D in different ways. Two of the replicator shapes are inherently
3D: Box and Sphere. The Box and Sphere shape options are available only when 3D is
turned on in the Replicator tab. Box and Sphere replicators build a pattern of elements
in 3D space. Whereas the 2D Rectangle and Circle replicator shapes have columns (in
the Y plane) and rows (in the X plane), Box and Sphere have an additional Ranks
parameter, which adds depth to the replicator.
For more information on Box and Sphere, see “ Rectangle, Circle, Image, Box, and
Sphere Shape Parameters ” on page 791.
Drag the left or right edge of the
bounding box to adjust its width. Drag the top or bottom edge to
adjust its height. Drag the corner handles to
adjust width and height
simultaneously. Press Shift to
adjust width and height
uniformly.
Box replicator with 13 columns, 12 rows, and 3
ranks. Sphere replicator with 14 columns, 14 rows,
and 5 ranks.
