-{{ ::proportional_steps.jpg?nolink|}}The Proportional Steps mode generates nodes in groups (or steps) for each parent relative to the parent's length.  Steps are generated at regular intervals and each step has a user controlled number of nodes.  This mode adapts to the size of the parent, making it suitable for randomization and cases where parents are of varying sizes.+The Proportional Steps mode generates nodes in groups (or steps) for each parent relative to the parent's length.  Steps are generated at regular intervals and each step has a user controlled number of nodes.  This mode adapts to the size of the parent, making it suitable for randomization and cases where parents are of varying sizes.
  
-In the image to the right, there are three trunks of varying lengths.  The branches all use the Proportional Steps generation mode.  Notice how short trunks have fewer steps than long ones.  Also notice that every trunk gets at least one step, no matter what.+In the following image, there are three trunks of varying lengths.  The branches all use the Proportional Steps generation mode.  Notice how short trunks have fewer steps than long ones.  Also notice that every trunk gets at least one step, no matter what.
