Using the Replicator

 Control-click the layer or group, then choose Isolate from the shortcut menu.
 Choose Object > Isolate.

Click the Isolate button again to return to your previous view.

Note: Clicking a camera’s Isolate button activates that camera’s view.

Applying Masks to the Replicator

As shown in the following images, you can apply masks to the source layer of a
replicator.

When a masked layer is used as the source for a replicator cell, the mask is respected in
the pattern cells.

Masks can also be applied to 2D replicators (all replicator shapes except Box and
Sphere).
