The Difference Between Replicator and Replicator Cell Parameters

Replicator and replicator cell parameters, though closely related, serve different purposes.
Replicator parameters control the overall shape, arrangement, offset, stacking order, build
order, and number of elements in the replicator pattern.

Replicator cell parameters control the behavior and appearance of the elements in the
replicator pattern. For more information, see

For a replicator with only one cell (one source layer), the replicator and replicator cell
controls appear in the same Replicator Inspector. In this case, you can control every aspect
of the replicator using these controls.

In replicators with multiple cells, each cell has its own Replicator Cell Inspector containing
all parameters for that cell.
