Generation Type and Option Settings (New for v. 8.4)

When you choose the Random radio button, the settings in the Options groups will be:

• Amount: The total number for distributing the props.

  Amount = 1	Amount = 100

• Spacing (cm): The space between the distributed props in centimeter.

  Spacing = 0 Some of the markers will overlap with each other.	Spacing = 200 No overlapping issue.

• Orientation: The united direction for each marker.

  Orientation = 0 (degrees)	Orientation = 200 (degrees)

  The direction will affect the angles of the placed props.

  Orientation = 0 (degrees)	Orientation = 200 (degrees)

• Random Orientation: The individual direction for each marker.

  Random Orientation = 0.00	Random Orientation = 1.00

  The direction will individually affect the angle for each placed prop..

  Random Orientation = 0.00	Random Orientation = 1.00

• Enable Scale Range: Deactivate or activate the checkbox to set the size for each marker.
  • Deactivated: You can adjust the Scale slider to set the size of all markers.
    

    Scale = 10	Scale = 120

    The value will affect the size for each placed prop.

    Scale = 10	Scale = 100

  • Activated: The range slider affects the different sizes for each marker. You can either type in the number or drag the triangles to set the minimum and maximum values..
    

    Min ~ Max = 50 ~ 50	Min ~ Max = 10 ~ 100

    The value will individually affect the size for each placed prop.

    Min ~ Max = 100 ~ 101	Min ~ Max = 50 ~ 250

When you choose the Formation radio button, you can create an array of candidate props. The settings in the Options section are:

• X, Y Amount: The total number for distributing the props. The maximum number for X times Y is 100. Notice that the gray markers fall outside of the realm will not be placed with the props in the candidate pool.

  X, Y Amounts = (10, 10)	X, Y Amounts = (5, 16)

  Notice that the gray markers are not able to be placed with props.

  X, Y Amounts = (10, 10)	X, Y Amounts = (5, 16)

• X, Y Distance (%): The space between the distributed props in percentage.

  X, Y Amount = (3, 10) X, Y Distance = (40, 40)	X, Y Amount = (3, 10) X, Y Distance = (200, 40)

  Click the Deploy Props button to preview the distribution.
  

  X, Y Amount = (3, 10) X, Y Distance = (40, 40)	X, Y Amount = (3, 10) X, Y Distance = (200, 40)

  You can activate the Use X Distance as Y checkbox to unify and link the x- and y-values.
  
• X, Y Offset: The X and Y offset values translate the entire array on the X-Y plane.

  X, Y Offset = (0, 0)	X, Y Offset = (0.65, -0.65)

  Click the Deploy Props button to preview the distribution result.

  X, Y Offset = (0, 0)	X, Y Offset = (0.65, -0.65)

• Orientation: The direction for the entire array.

  Orientation = 0 (degrees)	Orientation = 45 (degrees)

  Click the Deploy Props button to preview the distribution result.

  Orientation = 0 (degrees)	Orientation = 45 (degrees)

• Random Orientation: The individual direction for each token.

  Random Orientation = 0.00	Random Orientation = 1.00

  The direction will individually affect the angle for each placed prop.

  Random Orientation = 0.00	Random Orientation = 1.00

• Enable Scale Range: Deactivate or activate the checkbox to set the size for each token in the same value or within a range.
  • Deactivated: You can adjust the Scale slider for setting the united size for each token.
    

    Scale = 10	Scale = 60

    The value will affect the size for each placed prop.

    Scale = 10	Scale = 60

  • Activated: The user interface become a range setting slider to have different sizes for each token. You can either type in the number or drag the triangles to set the minimum and maximum values.
    

    Min ~ Max = 10 ~ 10	Min ~ Max = 10 ~ 90

    The value will individually affect the size for each placed prop.

    Min ~ Max = 10 ~ 10	Min ~ Max = 10 ~ 90
