Apple Motion 2 - Manual (Page 675)

Chapter 9 Using the Replicator 675
Note: When a shape that contains a gradient is selected in Adjust Control Points-mode,
the onscreen gradient controls also appear in the Canvas (the small “+” controls above
and below the shape).
2 In the Layers tab, select the object and click the Replicate icon in the Toolbar (or press L).
The default replicator object (rectangle shape with the tile fill arrangement) appears in
the Layers tab and in the Canvas. The original source object is disabled.
3 In the Replicator tab of the Inspector, do the following:
• Select Circle from the Shape pop-up menu.
• Select Outline from the Arrangement pop-up menu.
The cells appear in a circle. By default, the circle shape contains five points, and its
Radius is set to 200. An element appears at every point on the circle.
• If necessary, adjust the Radius parameter so that elements are not cut off in the
Canvas. In this example, Radius is set to 145.
