 Shape control serves as an alternative to using a [[geometry_forces|Geometry Force]] to create a tree shape but offers the additional benefit of being able to control the distribution of branches as they fill the shape. Shape control serves as an alternative to using a [[geometry_forces|Geometry Force]] to create a tree shape but offers the additional benefit of being able to control the distribution of branches as they fill the shape.

-Where you place your shape is an important part of shape control that determines its effect on the tree. Shape Control can be set to any level of your tree structure. Once applied, it will automatically include all of the generators after it in the hierarchy until you manually turn off the levels you don't want to include by changing the [[branch_generator#spine|"Spine:Stop shape control"]] property.+Where you place your shape is an important part of shape control that determines its effect on the tree.
