will be a random number in the range 20 to 60, and the falloff zone a random
number in the range 10 to 30. For each particle, the software uses the same
Variation % value, so if Core Radius is determined to be 20, then Falloff Zone
would be 10.
Scope group
By default, the Keep Apart force keeps particles only in the current event (that
is, the event that contains the Keep Apart operator) apart from each other
when used locally, or particles in each event in the current
flow on page 7983
apart when used globally. These settings let you alternatively keep particles
away from particles in other events or flows without affecting the behavior
of latter. Default=Current Event.
Current Event Keeps particles in the current event only away from each other.
When used globally, keeps particles in each event in the current flow apart
from each other, but not apart from particles in other events in the flow.
Current Particle System Keeps particles in the current event away from each
other, and away from all other particles in the current
flow on page 7983. The
particles not in the current event are not influenced by the Keep Apart operator.
When used globally, keeps apart and influences all particles in the current
flow.
Selected Events Keeps particles in the current event away from all particles
in the events highlighted in the list below this choice. Particles not in the
current event are not influenced by the Keep Apart operator.
When used globally, keeps all particles in the current flow apart from all
particles in the events highlighted in the list below this choice, but influences
only particles in the current flow.

Selected Particle Systems Keeps particles in the current event away from all
particles in the flows on page 7983 highlighted in the list below this choice. The
particles not in the current event are not influenced by the Keep Apart operator.
When used globally, keeps all particles in the current flow apart from all
particles in the flows highlighted in the list below this choice, but influences
