 Because [[kcgenerators|generators]] distribute properties across multiple nodes, they often have more than one value to manipulate.  Doing so provides the mechanism by which nodes can do things like being shorter at the top than the bottom or just having slightly different values of a property for the sake of random variation.  The following image shows a typical generator property. Because [[kcgenerators|generators]] distribute properties across multiple nodes, they often have more than one value to manipulate.  Doing so provides the mechanism by which nodes can do things like being shorter at the top than the bottom or just having slightly different values of a property for the sake of random variation.  The following image shows a typical generator property.

 When a [[kcnodes|node]] is selected in [[kcgenerators_vs._nodes|node editing mode]], the property represents an offset to the value produced by the generator.  Similarly, the profile curve on the node (if applicable) is added to the generator profile curve.  Use node properties to make node-specific adjustments to individual tree components.  These adjustments remain in effect until the node is reset or deleted.  Changes to the generator properties do not modify these offsets. When a [[kcnodes|node]] is selected in [[kcgenerators_vs._nodes|node editing mode]], the property represents an offset to the value produced by the generator.  Similarly, the profile curve on the node (if applicable) is added to the generator profile curve.  Use node properties to make node-specific adjustments to individual tree components.  These adjustments remain in effect until the node is reset or deleted.  Changes to the generator properties do not modify these offsets.
