Custom Waveform (ControlChannel & Checkbox): When checked, the tool applies the ControlChannel curve to the selected points instead of a sin function.

Displace X, Y, Z: Control which axes the wave function is applied to. If only one is checked, the wave function is applied in a linear fashion. If two are checked, the wave function is applied in a cylindrical fashion. If all three are checked, the wave function is applied spherically.

Amplitude: Controls the amplitude of the wave function.

Wavelength: Controls the wavelength of the wave function.

Phase: Controls the phase of the wave function.

Finite Range (Checkbox, Edit Control, and ControlChannel): When selected, the influence of the wave function on a point decreases based on its’ distance from the center point. Beyond the distance specified, the influence is zero. You can shape the falloff rate using the ControlChannel.

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.

restrictions: None.
use:

To open the Wave tool, double-click on "Wave" in the Toolbox.

tips:

Use the Wave tool to put ripples in flags, waves on a water surface, or wrinkles in fabric.

For an animated Wave effect, use a Waveizer object in your document.
