distribution object, you must adjust the Transform
settings in order to see the duplicates.
Rotation group
Specifies random rotation offsets.
X, Y, Z deg—Enterthemaximumrandomrotational
offset you want about the loc a l X, Y, or Z axis of
each duplicate.
Use M ax imum R a nge—When on, forces all three
settings to match the maximum value. The other
two settings become disabled, and the setting
containing the maximum v alue remains enabled.
Local Translation group
Specifies translation of the duplicates along their
local axes.

Use M ax imum R a nge—When on, forces all three
settings to match the maximum value. The other
two settings become disabled, and the setting
containing the maximum v alue remains enabled.
Translation on Face group
Lets you specify the translation of duplicates
along
barycentric (page 3–1008) face coordinates
of the associate face in the distribution object.

Scaling group
Lets you specify the sca ling of duplicates along
their local axes.
X, Y, Z %—Specifies the percent of random scaling
along the X, Y, or Z axis of each duplicate.
Use Ma x im um Ra nge—When on, forces all three

Lock A s pe ct Ra ti o —When on, maintains the
original aspect ratio of the s ource object. Typically,
this provides uniform scaling of duplicates. When

Z settings contain values greater than 0, the result
is non-uniform scaling of duplicates because the
values represent random scaling offsets in both
positive and negative directions.
