4 Change the Bend Angle setting on one of the instances to demonstrate that the cylinders and modifiers are truly instanced. Both cylinders bend. 5 Select one of the instances, and then, in the modifier stack choose either the Bend modifier or the cylinder itself. 6 Click Make Unique. When you change the Bend Angle setting or cylinder base parameters for one of the objects, the other doesn't change. NOTE When you instance an object/modifier combination, all duplicates are instances of a single master node containing the original object and modifier. In such cases, you cannot selectively make the object or its modifier unique. Clicking Make Unique for one or the other, makes both unique. Interface Make Unique Detaches objects and modifiers (and combinations) logically from the master node of which they're instances or references. Go to the object or modifier level in the stack for an instanced or referenced object or modifier (respectively), and click Make Unique. For instanced object/modifier combinations, in the modifier stack, choose either the modifier or the object itself. Making New Instances When you click Make Unique for a selection of two or more objects, a dialog appears that asks: Do you want to make the selected items unique with respect to each other? This gives you a choice of how you want to make the objects unique. ■ Yes Makes the instanced modifiers assigned to the objects in the selection unique for each object in the selection. ■ No All instanced modifiers assigned to the objects in the selection remain instanced across the selected objects, but become unique from other objects not in the selection. 7656 | Chapter 25 User Interface
