Amplitude X, Y, Z: Controls the maximum
distance along each axis that a selected point will be moved. Note that when Direction is
set to "Spherical", only Amplitude X is of significance.
Edit Points / Polygons: When set to
"Points", each selected point is moved randomly without regard to any of the
other points in its polygon, resulting in distorted polygons. When set to
"Polygons", each selected polygon is moved randomly, maintaining its
shape. (Note that polygons must be un-welded for this to work).
Direction Linear / Spherical: When set to
"Linear" each selected point / polygon is moved a random distance along each
axis, within the limits set by Amplitude X, Y, Z. When set to "Spherical", each
selected point / polygon is moved inward / outward from the center point, with the maximum
amplitude controlled by the Amplitude X control, only.
Range Finite / Infinite: When set to
"Infinite", selected points / polygons are randomly moved no matter how far away
they are from the center point. When set to "Finite", the influence of the tool
drops off the further away a point / polygon is from the center point. Beyond the distance
set in the Range control, the tool will have no influence on selected points / polygons.
Seed: Controls the random number generator
used to alter selected points / polygons. Enter a different number if the tool creates an
undesirable result, or to prevent identical results in identical objects.
OK: Closes the tool, with alterations
intact..
Cancel: Closes the tool, canceling any
alterations.
Set: Makes any alterations permanent, and
leaves the tool open, ready for further use.
The Random tool also includes a standard Origin,
allowing you to set the Origin point around which the
tool displaces points in Direction Spherical mode. The Origin
point is also the point from which distance is measured when using a Finite Range.
