•
Y Axis: The elements originate along the Y axis of the pattern and move outward.
•
Z Axis: The elements originate along the Z axis of the pattern and move outward.
Note: The origin parameter also determines where the Sequence Replicator behavior starts
its animation. For more information on the Sequence Replicator behavior, see
Apply the
Sequence Replicator behavior on page 596.
•
Shuffle Order: A checkbox that, when selected, rearranges the order in which the elements
appear. When Shuffle Order is selected, the Replicate Seed parameter becomes available.

•
Replicate Seed: This parameter, available when Shape is set to Rectangle, Circle, Image, Box, or
Sphere, and Arrangement is set to Random Fill, modifies the Random Fill pattern. Click the
Generate button to set a new random seed number.
Although the result of the Random Fill option from the Arrangement pop-up menu seems
random, it’s deterministic. This means that the random variation in the pattern is created
based on the number shown. Unless this seed number is changed, a replicator with the same
parameter settings and source object always appears the same. If you don’t like the current
random fill, you can change the seed number by typing a new number or clicking Generate.
This changes the random calculations performed for that pattern. This parameter is also used
to randomize the Shuffle Order parameter.
