Places an object at every vertex or point of a parent shape.
Before you use this tool, use the Civil View Object Placement Style Editor to place a source object at the start of the parent shape. Then you can use this tool to clone the object to every point on the parent shape.
You can also clone objects to only every second point, third point, fourth point, and so on.
It helps if you have placed the source object at the beginning of a parent shape, but this is not required.
This group of controls displays information relating to the selected source object and its parent shape.
The New Seed Name field lets you set the name of the cloned objects to be derived from a seed-name string.
If the source object contains references to child objects (for example, as a highway gantry with attached signs), Clone Child Objects chooses whether these child objects are also cloned.
Higher values provide more precision but take longer to calculate. You might have to increase this value for excessively long parent shape objects.
For example, set this value to 2 to create a clone of the selected object at every second point, or use a value of 5 to create a clone of the selected object at every fifth point.
This feature is useful for generating trees, providing a greater sense of variation between trees of the same type.
