parameters change
Hello,
I am new to Cinema 4D and I have several questions:
1. I cannot find a way to modify some parameters, like the number of copies in the “duplicate” function, for example. Once the function is applied, is there a way to modify its parameters?
2. How can I link some object properties to the “user data” values attached to the same object (like the dimensions of a cube, for example).
3. Why the “add user data” option is grey in the “duplicate” function?
4. And finally, is there a way to attach an XPresso constant to the null object unifying the “duplicated copies” in a way that it is used as a parameter for the duplication itself?
Thank you!

Could somebody, please, try to answer at least some of the questions I am struggling on (see the beginning of the thread)
Thank you!

The duplicate function is a one time deal. It works more like a script and less like an expression. What you are looking for I believe is some of the tools in the Jenna package. Especially the one called “Iterator”. Iterator gives real time duplicating and the ability to keyframe those changes to get animations along all the copies.
Instead of answering your questions explicitly, maybe tell us what your end goal is because there may be a more appropriate way to do the effect.
