Scatter
Drag to add many copies of a part.
Scatter quickly adds parts as you drag. Pick a part, set the mode to Scatter, and drag across your fig to add copies as you go.
How to scatter
- Select Parts… in the Add tab to open the parts list. Select a part. See Parts .
- Switch the main toggle from Drop to Scatter. This toggle is hidden until a part is armed.
- Drag across the parts you added. Copies appear along your drag. Dragging on empty grid space turns the camera.
One drag puts all its copies into one part, stuck to the part where the drag began. Undo clears the whole drag in one step. The status strip shows how many were added when the drag ends. A drag skips copies that are already there, so new copies land on the part underneath. Each copy sits by the middle of its base, like Drop. The Sits row is hidden in Scatter mode.
The dials
Set how it scatters in the panel:
- How many: Sets how many copies and how far apart (Sparse, Medium, Dense).
- How wild: Sets how much each copy varies. Copies always get a random turn at every setting. Neat has no tilt and keeps one size. Natural and Wild add random tilt, random sizes, and mirroring. Wild varies the most.
- Mix skins: Shows only when the armed part has more than one saved skin. Turning it on gives each copy a random skin.
Adding lots of copies slows the device down. The first slowdown shows a one-time note: This fig is getting heavy: big figs think slower.
