 Position: Defines the offset of the elements from their original position. Click the
disclosure triangle next to the Position parameter to reveal separate X, Y, and Z
Position subparameters. For example, to create an animation in which the elements
move upward in Y over the replicator pattern, enter a positive value in the Y Position
field. In the following images, Y Position is set to 300.
For more information about the Rotation, Color, Scale, Opacity, and Position parameter,

Sequence Control
The Sequence Control section of the Sequence Replicator behavior parameters
contains controls that allow you to modify the way the animation moves through the
replicator pattern, such as changing the direction of the animation.
Sequencing: Specifies how the sequence animation—the value change from the
original parameter value to the value set in the Sequence Replicator parameters—
moves through the elements of the pattern. The starting point for the sequence
animation is based on the selected Origin or Build Style parameters (in the Replicator
parameters). For example, if a line replicator’s Origin parameter is set to End Point, the
sequence animation begins at the end of the line and moves toward the start of the
line by default. To change the starting point for the sequence animation, change the
Origin or Build Style of the pattern in the replicator controls—the Replicator tab or
HUD. The Sequencing options are:
 To: Specifies that the animation begins at the original value of the cells and moves
to the value set in the Sequence Replicator behavior for that parameter. For example,
if the original opacity value of a pattern cell is 100%, and opacity is set to 0% in the
Sequence Replicator parameters, the elements begin completely opaque and
become completely transparent.
 From: Specifies that the animation moves from the value set in the Sequence
Replicator behavior to the original value of the cells. For example, if the original
opacity value of a pattern cell is 100%, and opacity is set to 0% in the Sequence
Replicator parameters, the elements begin completely transparent and become
completely opaque. This is the opposite of the To Sequencing option.
