MicroStation cell placement — automatically!

Ever notice that no two trees are exactly alike?
There are many different kinds of trees. Some are
taller than others. They all lean in a slightly
different direction.
Why then, when a MicroStation user places tree
cells into a design file, does every tree look exactly
alike!? The answer is — that MicroStation user
doesn’t have CellRandomizer.
What does CellRandomizer
do?
CellRandomizer creates more natural looking
MicroStation drawings by randomly varying the height,
width and rotation of cells placed with it. You
tell CellRandomizer the minimum and maximum
height, width and rotation you want. CellRandomizer
randomly places the cell (or cells) you want randomly
choosing the height, width and rotation within the
limits you define.

| CellRandomizer
allows you to randomly place cells in your design
files! |
Example
Here’s an example: Let’s say you want
to create a natural looking wooded area or a tree-lined
street. Just tell CellRandomizer you want
to place cells OAK, PINE and MAPLE with a height
of 10 to 25 feet and a vertical rotation between
-7 degrees and +7 degrees. Click your mouse once
to create each (varied) cell. Place as many trees
as you like and you’re done! Each tree cell
will have a slightly different orientation and size,
just as trees do in real life. (Note that you can
set the rotation limits for each axis — x,
y and z — separately.)
What happens if you don’t
have CellRandomizer
To accomplish the same natural look without CellRandomizer,
you would have to:
-
Select the first cell you want.
-
Randomly determine a cell height.
-
Manually change the active y-scale to that height.
-
Randomly determine a cell width.
-
Manually change the active x-scale to that height.
-
Randomly determine a cell rotation.
-
Manually adjust the active angle to that rotation.
-
Place the cell.
-
Manually repeat steps 2
through 8 for each placement of that cell.
-
Manually repeat steps
1 through 8 for the placement of each of the
other cells.
Yet with CellRandomizer, each randomly scaled
and oriented cell can be placed with a single mouse-click
