Custom allows you to define an area of elements—based on percentage—that are
affected by the sequence.

Unit Size set to Custom allows you to define the
percentage of cells affected as the sequence
moves through the pattern.

When Custom is chosen from the Unit Size pop-up menu, the Start and End parameters
become available.

Start:

This parameter is available when Custom is chosen from the Unit Size pop-up

menu. Specifies the offset of the start of the range of elements affected by the sequence
animation as it moves over the replicator pattern. In the above image, Start is set to 10%.

End:

This parameter is available when Custom is chosen from the Unit Size pop-up menu.

Specifies the end of the range of elements affected by the sequence animation as it moves
over the replicator pattern. By default, End is set to 10%. In the above image, End is set
to 30%.

Note: If the Sequencing pop-up menu is set to Custom, the Custom option in the Unit
Size parameter has no affect.

Spread:

Controls the amount of falloff of the animation. To create a softer transition

between each element, increase the Spread value.

Traversal:

Sets the action of the sequence behavior to Constant Speed, Ease In, Ease Out,

Ease In/Out, Accelerate, Decelerate, or Custom.

Ramp: Moves the animation from the origin of the replicator pattern through the end

of the pattern at a constant speed. The sequence moves in the direction specified in
the replicator parameters, such as the origin or build style.

Ease In: The sequence animation begins slowly and increases to normal speed as it

moves through the replicator pattern.

Ease Out: The sequence animation begins at normal speed and slows toward the end

of the replicator pattern.
