6 Click Generate Clones.
This produces the specified number of clones in the same location. To
vary positions, orientations, and/or sizes, proceed with the following
steps.
7 On the Position tab > Placement Relative To Object group, choose a
distribution option. Click the None button, and then select the
distribution object you created earlier.
Alternatively, to distribute delegates in a circular area, choose Placement
In Area group > In Radial Area and set a center and radius.
8 Click Generate Locations.
This distributes the clones.
9 On the Rotation tab, choose which of the cloned object's local axes are
to look forward and up. Optionally, specify source and target objects for
the clones' orientations, as well as limits for randomized deviations from
the calculated orientation.
10 Click Generate Orientations.
11 On the Scale tab, for each axis, specify Average, Deviation, and, optionally,
Same As settings and a random seed.
12 Click Generate Scales.
At this point, you're basically finished. However, to create a series of
randomized positions, orientations, and/or sizes for clones, follow the
next two steps and repeat as necessary.
13 On the All Ops, turn on Positions, Rotations, and/or Scales. To vary the
randomized positions, rotations, and/or scales, turn on the corresponding
Inc Seed check boxes.
14 Click the Scatter button.
You can combine the cloning, position, rotation, and scale functions in
one operation by setting the options on their respective tabs without
clicking the Generate buttons, and then using the All Ops tab to apply
any or all scatter operations simultaneously. Also, you can use the All
Ops tab > Select Objects To Transform to specify any objects to scatter;
not just clones.
