Affect

- Affect
Chooses which branches are affected. Active Branches uses the latest generated layer. Active + Descendants also includes growth from that layer. Active Generated Hierarchy additionally includes ancestors created by that same generated contribution. Entire Input uses everything arriving here. Attached children follow a moved parent even when they are not reshaped themselves.
Setup

- Profile
Draws a radius multiplier from branch base on the left to tip on the right. One keeps thickness; higher values thicken and lower values narrow it.
