# Distribution

## Overview

The Distribution rollout supplies all essential elements to fine-tune the population of entities.

## Even

**Custom Axis** - Determines the distribution projection axis.\
**Distance** - Specifies the distance between entities.\
**Alignment** - Changes the way how the **Orientation** is applied. *Local* - entities are aligned in reference to the local domain, *World* - entities are aligned in reference to the world.\
**Origin** - Defines the origin of the distribution, allowing shifting it in space.\
**Orientation** - Controls the orientation of entites on the domain.

## Grid

**Custom Axis** - Determines the distribution projection axis.\
**Distance X** - Specifies the distance between entities on X-axis.\
**Distance Y** - Specifies the distance between entities on Y-axis.\
**Alignment** - Changes the way how the **Orientation** is applied. *Local* - entities are aligned in reference to the local domain, *World* - entities are aligned in reference to the world.\
**Origin** - Defines the origin of the distribution, allowing shifting it in space.\
**Orientation** - Controls the orientation of entites on the domain.

## Random

### Uniform

**Custom Axis** - Determines the distribution projection axis.\
**Distance** - Specifies the distance between entities.\
**Alignment** - Changes the way how the **Orientation** is applied. *Local* - entities are aligned in reference to the local domain, *World* - entities are aligned in reference to the world.\
**Origin** - Defines the origin of the distribution, allowing shifting it in space.\

**Custom Axis** - Determines the distribution projection axis.\
**Size** - Specifies the size evaluated by the **Density** parameter.\
**Density** - Specifies the density of entities per provided size square area.\
**Alignment** - Changes the way how the **Orientation** is applied. *Local* - entities are aligned in reference to the local domain, *World* - entities are aligned in reference to the world.\
**Origin** - Defines the origin of the distribution, allowing shifting it in space.\
**Orientation** - Controls the orientation of entites on the domain.

## Vertex

**Alignment** - Changes the way how the **Orientation** is applied. *Local* - entities are aligned in reference to the local domain, *World* - entities are aligned in reference to the world.\
**Origin** - Defines the origin of the distribution, allowing shifting it in space.\
**Orientation** - Controls the orientation of entites on the domain.

## Face

**Size** - Specifies the size evaluated by the **Density** parameter.\
**Density** - Specifies the density of entities per provided size square area.\
**Alignment** - Changes the way how the **Orientation** is applied. *Local* - entities are aligned in reference to the local domain, *World* - entities are aligned in reference to the world.\
**Origin** - Defines the origin of the distribution, allowing shifting it in space.\
**Orientation** - Controls the orientation of entites on the domain.

## UV

![](/files/-MVY1gA-b_GXO4X_EbTE)

**UV Type** - Specifies the type of the distribution to be used over UV space. It provides types as [*Even*](/manual/distribution.md#even), [*Grid*](/manual/distribution.md#grid)*,* and [*Random*](/manual/distribution.md#random) that share the same set of parameters as regular types discussed above, excluding one which is not considered in UV space - the **Projection Axis** parameter.
