Changing step separation
Step Separation sets how many steps apart performers land when you paint them along a path or around a shape.
-
Select your performers. Press 2 for Select mode and select the performers you want to place.
-
Open the Paint tool. Press 3, or click Paint or one of the shape tools in the toolbar on the left.
-
Find Step Separation. It’s at the bottom of the paint options in the right panel.
-
Enter a value.
- -1 (the default) spreads performers evenly along the whole path or shape, no matter how long it is.
- A number of steps, like 2 or 4, places performers exactly that many steps apart, starting at the beginning of the path. You can enter up to 50.
-
Draw your path or shape. With the Paint tool in Draw mode, performers are placed when you let go. With a shape, check the preview dots, then click Confirm Shape.
- Path too short? If the path runs out before every performer has a spot, the extra performers end up stacked at the end. Draw a longer path or use a smaller number.
- Path too long? Performers fill only the start of the path, and the rest is left empty.
- Filled shapes use different settings. When Fill Shape is checked, spacing comes from Horizontal Step Spacing and Vertical Step Spacing instead.
- Fixing spacing later? To re-space performers who are already in a line, see Setting performer spacing.
