Attributes Panel
Seed
A random seed that affects how groups are broken.
Break Ratio
Controls the number of groups broken on each iteration.
Size Ratio
This ratio controls the size of the new groups. If a group is smaller than the average size multiplied by this value, it's not broken any more.
Angle
Groups are broken on the middle of their longest axis. This value randomizes the breaking angle around that middle point.
Iterations
Number of iterations the breaking process is applied.
