Using the Replicator

To display the Cell Controls for a multi-cell replicator:

1

In the Layers tab or Timeline layers list select a cell (located beneath the replicator
layer).

Align Angle: When enabled, the replicator elements automatically rotate to match the
shape on which they are positioned. This parameter is available in all cases but the
following: Rectangle, Circle, Image, Box, and Sphere shapes with Tile Fill or Random Fill
and Point.

Angle: Specifies (in degrees) the rotation of the replicator elements. Using the default
dial or value slider (when the disclosure triangle is closed), the Z angle is affected. To
individually modify the rotation of the pattern elements in X, Y, and Z space, click the
disclosure triangle.
