662 Chapter 9 Using the Replicator
Note: In general, the Cell Controls in the Replicator tab and the Replicator Cell tab are
persistent. For more information on the Cell Controls, see “
Replicator Cell Parameters ”
on page 662.
Replicator Cell Parameters
The replicator cell parameters apply to the replicated objects—the elements—created
within a replicator. In a replicator with only a single cell, the cell parameters appear in
the Replicator tab in the Cell Controls group. In a replicator with multiple cells, each cell
has its own Replicator Cell tab that contains all parameters for that cell.
To display the Cell Controls for a single-cell replicator:
1 Select a replicator object.
2 In the Inspector, click the Replicator tab.
Animating Replicator Parameters
Any parameter that contains an Animation menu can be animated. The Animation
menu is represented by a small dash at the end of the parameter row. If you have
animated the replicator parameters, and you then apply a Simulation behavior, or a
Throw or Spin behavior, to the replicator, the keyframes that affect position or
rotation are ignored. For more information on applying behaviors to the replicator,
see “
Using Behaviors With Replicators ” on page 696.
