 Geometry forces are enabled and disabled just like any other force.  Select a generator, navigate to the “Forces” group, and enable the geometry force in the list. Below is a screenshot of the “Single Vine” generator enabling the Geometry Force named “Rook”. Geometry forces are enabled and disabled just like any other force.  Select a generator, navigate to the “Forces” group, and enable the geometry force in the list.

 The value of the property is multiplied by the Geometry Force’s strength value and applied to the branch.  If more than one behavior has been assigned to the Geometry Force, choose the desired behavior by clicking the name field on the force property and selecting it by name.  The [[kccurves|parent curve]] and [[kccurves|profile curve]] can be used to change the force’s influence on the branch in the same manner as any other property. The value of the property is multiplied by the Geometry Force’s strength value and applied to the branch.  If more than one behavior has been assigned to the Geometry Force, choose the desired behavior by clicking the name field on the force property and selecting it by name.  The [[kccurves|parent curve]] and [[kccurves|profile curve]] can be used to change the force’s influence on the branch in the same manner as any other property.
