Parameters
| Name | What it does | Default/range |
|---|---|---|
| Center X / Y | What the clones orbit. Instead of numbers, the point can follow a layer: pick it under Follow, or click New Null to create a null there and follow it (one undo step). While it follows, the rows read "follows" and the layer name; Unlink goes back to numbers. | 0, 0 px |
| Speed | Turns per second. | 0.25 turns/s |
| Phase | Starting angle. | 0° |
| Radius | Orbit radius. | 0 px, min 0 |
| Tilt | (3D comp) Tilt of the orbit. | 0° |
| Random | How much each clone's orbit varies. | 0, 0–1 |
| Seed | Which random pattern. | random at add time |
